Yeah I was told that live rock wasn't necessary. That's not true?

My tank. This is my first tank, so please let me know if I'm missing something. I'm pretty much figuring a lot of this out as I go along. Thanks

At work right now. I'll send u one tonight

This is my first tank and I've been getting my setup from a friend of mine. So far I have a blue damsel, green Chromis, zebra damsel, clownfish, and 2 diamond sleeper gobys. Crushed coral for my substrate, and some artificial things as decoration/hiding spots. Plus the filter, air pump, light, etc.

So I've got my tank up and running. And very happy so far with the variety of fish I have so far. But my lease is up in a few months and a friend of mine renewed his lease, not bc they liked the house... but bc he didn't want to have to bother with moving his 220 gal tank. I was wondering if...

I have 2 diamond sleeper gobies cleaning the bottom of my tank. One of them is always out and about just hanging out at the bottom, but the other one is always hiding. I'll see him about every other day or so. Is that normal? The only other fish I have in the tank right now is a blue damsel...

I let my tank cycle for 4 weeks. I added 2 damsels (blue and pink) Sunday. And 2 green Chromis Monday. So far so good. I was told to get between 4-6 small fish to get the ammonia and stuff started. In about 2 weeks I'm planning on putting in some more expensive fish

That's really helpful. Thanks a lot

Puffers sound pretty cool. I'm just starting out with a SW tank (75 gallon). If I put a puffer in there, what are some fish that they will get along with?

Ok thanks. I'll just wait it out. I know that patience is an important thing to have with aquariums. Thanks for the advice!

Oh wow. Yeah everyone kept telling me to start out with damsels for the first few weeks, but I didn't know they were aggressive until I bought them. Are there any other cheap fish that would get along with the damsels until I start to put more expensive fish in there? Or should I just wait a few...

I finally got to put fish in my tank yesterday after letting my tank cycle for a month. I bought 2 damsels (blue & pink) in there and was planning on getting 2 more tonight. My tank is 75 gallons and since they are so small I wanted to just add 2 more. Is this a good idea? Or is 2 damsels...
