    I hoping on starting another reef tank for my bedroom. I was thinking on either doing a 10 standard, 20 high, 20 long, or a 29. What in your oppion would be a good tank? any suggestions on any tanks 10-35 gallon tanks that would be good for a small reef?
    thanks,
    Jake

    usally bigger the better.. but more cost more to stock up, and such.. whats your budget and what do you want to keep coral /fish wise?

    here's a link for "saltwater startup checklist"

    if you can afford a biocube tank, those have alot of stuff in the box. lighting,tank,pump,skimmer.. I think they make 5g-30g+ sized ones.

    my budget would be around FREE-$500 and I would like to keep mostly zoa's and lps corals. as for fish I was thinking maybe a pair of b&w clowns or a pair of ora snowflake clowns, a flasher wrasse, and maybe a group of 3 chromis, so around 5 fish.
