Hello, my name is Travis and I am going to be getting into saltwater. Before I go buy everything I would like some help with my setup. I have a 30 gallon that I would like to use to start my saltwater tank. It consists of a emeporer 400 and a 65 watt lighting fixture. I would like a easy setup and easy fish.
My questions are what fish, coral or sand and what is a skimmer? I would like to buy what I need on bigals or wherever to save some money. My wife likes the clown fish but there seems to be so many types.
I have a 125 gallon tank for my 3 goldfish. I do 50 percent water changes every week. So I already have a understanding of basic fish maintenance, like high nitrates and ph.
One more note my tap ph is 6.2
Thanks for any help and I want to start right than to kill fish trying to start wrong. Any links to start might help me, I have read alot and understand but with my setup it might change things.
