I've been a FW person for 10 years with little interest in SW, until I saw the LFS' invert tank, and I had to have one too. It's an new, uncomfortable place for me to be in, to not know anything about what I want to take on, but I have AA, so I can handle it.
I'd like to keep a few easy corals, as many inverts as I can, and a fish or two for movement. The fish are of the least importance to me. I'd be perfectly happy with a clown or a few damsels. I'd like some stocking suggestions, please. I don't want to miss out on something cool jus because I didn't know it was out there.
I'd really like to get a BioCube 29. My concern, though, is its upgradability. It has 2 36W, and I don't know if that's enough. It also does not have a skimmer or PH (I don't think) and I don't know how easy it would be to add them in, or if I would even need them. My other concern is if, say, the filter has a problem. It seems like it could be hard to service or replace if necessary. I'm really leaning more towards a 20L or 30 and piecing it together myself, so I can get exactly what I need and only what I need from the beginning.
So give me your insights on what I have so far so I can get started. Thanks!
