Hey everyone!! My brother gboy66 and i just bought a 30 gallon tank, wood stand, protein skimmer, live sand, and coralife t5 4 bulb light!

We are so excited and we brought the price down from 250 to 200!! Great let the thread begin!
 
Yea guys!! We are SO pumped. This is our first time taking the dive into salt (even though we are so cal beach freaks) and we will need TONS of advice! Thanks alot everyone, and here is a list of the fish we are thinking about. We definatly arent going to add ALL of these fish, 6 fish max!

Sw fish ideas

1 x Orange lined cardinal fish
1 x bangaii cardinal fish
2 x occerellis clown
1 x yellow watchman goby
1 x high fin red banded goby
1 x catalina goby
1 x pink bar goby
1 x tail spot blenny
1 x yellow head jawfish
1 x lawnmower blenny
1 x gramma
1 x firefish
1 x purple firefish
1 x Scissortail dartfish
1 x peppermint shrimp
2 x cleaner shrimp
 
The only fish that doesnt belong as far as I can see is the catalina goby. It's a coldwater fish. :-(
 
Haha I saw the list and read it first. Thought you were putting all those in lol. Sounds like a good plan. Cool that you guys are doing it together. Only person I can get excited about it is my 6year old lol

Good choice. If in doubt, don't do it.

List looks solid.

I've had cleaner and peppermint shrimp. Both are nice, peppermint will take care of aptasia for you.
 
Id go ahead with the gramma. Only aggresive to fish that look like it. You should add it last. The YWG and blenny might no do so well because there both bottom dwellers and the goby might attack it.:)
 
Haha thanks guys i am excited! Haha the list looks solid and the best part is the light allows us to grow many corals! :D
 
Actually add the clowns last. They have been known to pair up and kill everything in the tank if added first...:l
