I currently have a 29 tall eclipse tank that I would like to set up as salt (as soon as we're finished moving into the house). Because it's small I'd like to do fish only and was thinking of having live rock along with some clowns and blue devils.
I was just wondering if anyone would have any suggestions or helpful hints as to what I need to do to get things going and keep everything alive and/or what other fish I would be able to add to my tank.
I'm looking for colour (isn't everyone?) and I'm not set on the clowns and devils, it's jus the only combo I found that have a nice colour to them and they can live peacefully together. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

if i were you i would stay away from the blue damsel. there is a reason why some people care the devil fish. its because they can get vary vary mean.
you should also look into getting a clean up crew. a cleaner shrimp and maybe 5 snails.

yea, like he said, no damsels.
Read the sticky thread at the top of the forums. VERY helpful. Then post any question you have and give us details on what you have planned.
After reading the threads, you'll get an idea of what equipment you want, what fish, etc... Then post your plan and ppl on the site will help you from there.
start w/ this...
