    No problem! Good luck! and are you a beginner? I would recommend a mandarin (kinda tough like I said but really awesome if you can feed them right), BW clownfish, and a firefish (theres also a purple firefish and helfrichi's but i'd recommend between regular red and white and the purple one. Save helfrichi if you have the money and when u become more experienced).

    one more interesting thing: ever thought about inverts? if you dont know, there is such thing as a shrimp/fish pair, in which a shrimp pairs up with a fish (usually a goby) and they live together in the same cave and protect each other/get food for each other. It's most familiarly known as a goby.pistol shrimp pair. you could probably substitute a firefish for a goby/pistol shrimp pair; veyr interesting and awesome creatures IMO

    To SW yes but to fish no, I had a 60g heavily planted, injected CO2 where is was dosing fertilizers like every 2 days. So I have experience, I am not jumping into SPS just yet. The mandarin would be the last fish I add and the clown would be the first. The firefish is easy to care for, but a big risk cause if I mess up there goes $165 down the toilet literally hahaha Oh and I also have a 92g corner african cichlid tank which will probaly turn SW in a couple years ahahahahah

    Just a suggestion... Add the least aggressive fish fish such as a Goby first... This will be good because it is prob the least expensive fish and it will give you a feel for the tank without spending a lot of money... also adding the "more aggressive" fish last will help him be less territorial

    Hmm... since I am considering having a mandarin and/or scooter blenny, they would simply be added last for the need of stable water quality and a good copepod population in the fuge
