looking for some pointers.
To begin with, I am really adept in freshwater fish ( I work in a Petstore fish dept. and used to keep multiple tanks going at once) Im looking to take it a step further into saltwater.
My main point of interest is getting a black lionfish and a Moray( snowflake/ honeycomb) and i have just started to look into all the things to get it going. From what i gather, I think im going to run 2 aquaclear 500 power filters and possibly a bed filter on the side. I have Just started looking into all the other parts that are needed for a Saltwater tank ( Protein skimmer, Overflow, Lighting, and possibly a sump) and im looking for some pointers on what is good on the market right now.
What tankmates can go with my 2 points of interest? My brackish snowflake used to eat all my gobies, so i figure they would be out of the question almost forsure. I would like possibly an anglerfish or perhaps a grouper/puffer if possible. Also, if i did keep the Moray would it eat all the clean up crew ( hermits/ crabs/ shrimp)? I am undecided if i want to commit to a reef tank aswell, because frankly i dont feel it would be a great choice if i couldnt have reef going fish/inverts.
Any insight would be wonderful, thanks alot.
