Hey guys! I am new to reefing and saltwater aquariums. As of now I have just a little starter tank. Biocube 32. Currently have 3 green chromis and 1 maroon clownfish. Just curious as to what corals are good to start with when I am ready and what other fish would be good with the current fish I have. I have heard that maroon clowns can be aggessive but mine doesn't seem to be. Any help/advice would be much appreciated so thank you in advance!

Soft and LPS are great beginner corals. Zoas, toadstool, Duncan, and mushrooms are all great beginner corals :)
 
Thank you! Apriciate the input! I' not quite ready for them yet. Tank has been up a few weeks and want to Make sure everything is stable enough
 
You can put a skimmer in at any time.
Yes I know that much. Lol. I was just asking how long should I let the protein skimmer run before adding corals. I may have mistyped

Lol my bad, I probably read it wrong to. It really shouldn't matter, as long as you have stable parameters.

Any idea of good places online to shop for some? I'm not in any rush would just like to look around. Also I would love to get an anemone for my clown but I heard they can be a pain with some other corals

Bulk Reef Supply is my #1 go to for everything. And yes, youll want to wait until your tank has matured to get an anemone. I usually say around the 1 year mark.

Anamones tens too do better in a mature tank ( min 6months old) they also need a lot of light probably 250 par or more
