Hello all,

Brand new to forums and saltwater. Currently have what some would call an uncomfortable amount of freshwater aquariums in my home. ;) After years of drooling over reef tanks finally convinced the wife to let me start my first 29 gallon reef. I have the tank, sand and stand built. Waiting on dry base rock to do my hardscape. I'm beyond excited, I know this whole hobby is about patience but I'm like a kid in December waiting for Christmas.

Any recommendations for personalble/interesting fish and corals for a saltwater newbie that will work for a 29 gallon?

Looking forward to learning from all of you!

Chris

Welcome to Reef2Reef! You’re gonna find lots of great advice from a grew at community of reefers.
A few fish for starting out:
Ocellaris Clowns
Blue/Green Chromis
Lawnmower Blenny
Royal Gramma

Corals:
Softies - Toadstools, leathers, mushrooms, zoas. All of these are hearty and come in a great variety.
LPS/Euphyllia - Good challenge for beginners. They keep you on your water changes and monitoring parameters.

Looking forward to more questions! Post a thread and ask away!
