Do you want to have fish only, or a reef? What kind of lights and filtration do you have?

Figure out if you can afford the equiptment for what you want. Ask a lot more questions.

Welcome to SWF
Please read around this site. What do you have in the tank now? Have you filled it with SW? What substrate do you have? What equipment is on the tank? Please tell us all about the tank. This is not a hobby to rush with. Please ask any and all questions that you may have.
