I would suggest to get the book " The Conscientious Aquarist" by Fenner
It is LOADED with all your questions about everything answered and VERY important things you should know before you start. Otherwise do a search for information. There is just too much to write about on this subject but if you read up on it first...you will gain so much and decide whether
this hobby is for you. It takes alot of work, dedication, time, $'s and LOTS of patience
in order to be successful.
That book is great. I'm sure the experts here would agree.
Good luck to you.
p.s. fish with LR, crabs etc..is not considered a fish only tank anymore. And starfish take care to have success with them.
