What's up everyone? Thanks for having me. I'm new to saltwater and have not setup my tank yet. I was hoping for a little advice, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. |

I have a 35 gallon hex . Not looking to do anything fancy. I was thinking a fuzzy dwarf lion or a couple of clowns with a scooter blenny. No corals probably just live sand and rock. Everyone tells me different advice I'm becoming confused. Do I need a protein skimmer? I was told a biowheel would be fine. Also, how much live rock could I use as a minimum? On a budget unfortunately. And lastly, do I need special lighting if I'm not doing corals just yet. Thanks for your advice eveyone. | |

welcome to 3reef, everyone here knows there stuff, yake their advise and youll do just fine!! id take most of your budget to start and put it towards about 35-40 lbs of live rock and a good filter or skimmer to start. then over the next few weeks as it cycles, you can save up your money for lights and so on. good luck
