New Tank

[Magglit]

Hello everyone, today I bought a fish tank a couple weeks back, I just need the water and the sand! I hope to get that pretty soon although I am busy with my stuff I will eventually find time to do so.
Suggest what coral I should get!

That will depend on a large amount of info we have yet to get from you. How many gallons is that tank? What equipment do you plan on running with it? What lighting will you have? What experience do you have? How much and what type of live rock will you be placing in there. What type of main filtration do you plan on using? What type of sand are you getting?..........

How did I forget to put all this down, I'm forgetful.

Alright, this tank is 5 gallons, I would get it bigger but my counter is pretty small so I can't do much. I am soon to get a light for this tank since I don't have one right now like I said before I am pretty busy so I don't have a lot of time to do things. I am being provided with basic materials from one of my friends I literally have no experience, but my a friend who has enough experience to provide me with what I need and he'll educate me soon about everything that I need to know about the basic stuff. I know I'll be using a heater, a filter, and a light, but I just don't know a lot yet, I'll ask him about this later

Alright, I got a bit more information on the stuff I'm getting. Ok so the sand is normal grain sand, the light I am using is a 14k LED enough for lps coral. I'm using a hang on the back filter with activated carbon sponges.

When you get all your equipment, give us the details, they matter. A 14k light from "A" manufacturer will be quite a different beast from "B" manufacturer, etc. I strongly recommend a lot of research from this section of the forum since this is essentially what you are setting up...
