    I dont know if I want to do a tank with a lot of coral and smaller fish so there can be more of them, one with lots of coral and some bigger fish, or a predator tank! Any suggestions?

    Hi Addio - have a look around this site, and your local LFS before you commit to anything , example if a clown trigger is something you want - the rest of the desicion making is easy for you FOWLR (Fish only with live rock)

    if there are several corals you like - then its a reef set up , with a couple/ few/ depending on size of fish

    The only advice at this stage I would give is - start a tank of as large a size as you can afford and accomodate - bigger gives you more options when you decide on direction and is easier to maintain conditions in a larger enviroment

    above all, enjoy

    Steve
