ok so heres the thing. im a senior in HS and i have always loved animals. i just started researching SW about 6 months ago or so. ive had a 30 gallon FW tank and just got bored of it. my brothers birthday was yesterday and mine is on the 18th. ive been nagging my parents to let me get a SW tank and they have been kinda sketchy about me getting one b.c 1.) i leave for college in a year and then after a year of college im going to serve a 2 year mission for my church. then i get back from my mission and basically will never live at home again.ie. finish college get married if i find that perfect one. so i wont be home to take care of the tank.2.) when i leave my younger brother is responsible for the tank and they dont know if hes up for the task. anywho, for my brothers birthday present i told him to ask for a 12 gallon nano, b.c the price isnt that bad and it comes basically ready to fill just anjoy. well low and behold my parents told him that we could get a tank. my dad does not want a 12 gallon nano b,c he said if hes going to spend that kinda money on a tank he would want a tank that u can "acutally put a good amount of cool fish in". so now im trying to figure out what size tank and the filteration we should get; and i kinda already know what type of fish we want. heres the list
1 valintine,blueline, or spotted puffer.
1 blue throat trigger
1 lawnmower,watchman gobie ( or anything to shift the sand and eat algea
3 schooling fisih ( chromis )
1 dwarft angle
2 ( a pair ) of clowns
and if room 1 to 2 tangs
what size tank would work for this stock list. a must in this list is the blue throat, puffer and a pair of percs. so work around that. thanks so much for your time and for helping me out. i really appreciate it. oh PS immm sooooooo freakin excited we're going to be getting a tank! ( i just hope my dad knows how much its going to add up to and what hes getting himself into! haha. thanks again
