Its a great hobby, just start out on the right foot. Good luck!<br><b>References : </b><br>lots of fish and aquariums for 20 years starting the hobby with a saltwater tank is not a good idea. the setup, equipment and cost of the fish is very expensive, especially if you have never taken care of an aquarium before. you really should start out with a freshwater setup, and that is a job too, but a good way to get started. you may like the bright colors of the saltwater fish, but you can also get some freshwater fish that have plenty of color.

DON'T DO IT!!! Yes, I'm sure It'd be nice and cute to have a nice little tank full of 'Nemos' swimming around, but all that will happen if you went ahead with your plan is you'd end up with a tank full of DEAD 'Nemos', floating around. First off, If you want to keep Marine fish, you will have to TRIPLE the size of that 30 gallon tank you have your eye set on, and then you'd have to try and find a way of downloading about 3 years of fish keeping knowledge into your neural network, 'Matrix' style. And have loads of money, as marine fish most certainly aren't cheap, and nor is the equipment. (protein skimmer, powerheads, T5 lighting, a sump tank, living coral, a constant supply of 'reverse osmosis' water, chemicals, water conditioning treatments... the list goes on...) Seriously, reconsider, and go for a fresh water 'tropical' set up. There are some awesome fish that can be kept in a 'tropical' tank set up, and It's far, far easier to maintain. Also, a 30 gallon isn't that bad a size for a community tank. Here are a few links that will help, but you need to get some serious advice (from a reputable aquatic shop) before committing yourself. http://www.thinkfish.co.uk/index.html http://www.aquahobby.com/age_of_aquariums.php http://members.optushome.com.au/chelmon/Newtank.htm<br><b>References : </b><br> WHOA!!!!

After that, let it run for about a month, then add some fish to it. You can enjoy the live rock for the month. There will be a lot going on in there if you buy decent live rock. Do weekly water changes with water tests. That's about it. Enjoy Cheers<br><b>References : </b><br> Get the tank, a bunch of live rock, a couple of powerful pumps, a light, a stand, a heater, and salt.
