Default New Marine Setup

So yup. I should be picking up a 80litre nano cube either friday or saturday .

Obviously once setup I'll get the fish, but what do you reckon I should get. Definately getting a pair of clowns, a little goby or similar. But what else, I'd really like a dwarf angel of some kind but what do you reckon?

I might even spend the extra cash and do up my vision 180 instead

Are you planning on keeping corals? If you are make sure any tank you use has not had copper medication in it.

Yeah don't worry. I work in a fish shop which specialises in reef tanks, i'm pretty certain as to what im doing and i like to think knowledgable enough to setup trouble free.

Haven't bought the stuff yet, but will hopefully be buying it on friday or saturday. Probably going for the bigger tank, since then i can get my dwarf angel, maybe a few damsels as well

yeah not saying you couldn't do it just making sure you knew.

damsels!! I hate them things, I had a few when i first setup and the bloody things attacked everything.

And also go for the bigger tank as you'll only end up wanting a bigger one anyway
