Realy want to get into saltwater keeping but I’m scared😆. Do you guys think a 25 gallon tank with corals only is a good start?

Believe it or not that’s going to be harder than if you were to have at least 1-2 fish, and that’s due to not having nitrates in your tank, some nitrates are crucial for your tank and only way to get that is through adding it yourself or the natural way through fish
Ok thanks!
No problem! Those tanks are known as ULNS or “Ultra Low Nutrient Systems” if you really want coral only, it’s doable but I highly I suggest you research those type of reefs!
I think I’m going with fish mabye a yellow clown goby and some banggai cardinals
Yeah 25 is great starter size, and it’s what I went with. Definitely agree with rosin, fish are a must. Plus, they bring so much personality to the tank. The hobby is great though! Take the plunge!
Thanks and Nice tank
I dont have a tank yet but hopefully I will get one soon without failing🙃
Best advice is to go slow and don’t overcrowd your tank. In a 25 do 2-4 easy fish and a small clean up crew. All softie corals is easiest and least expensive.
Thanks
I’m 6 weeks into the Hello Reef 15 gallon system and I’ve been loving it! Highly recommend! I’ve kept freshwater so saltwater was totally new. I loved how it was a complete kit and took you thru a step by step video program to guide you along.
Cool. Idk if i can get that kit since i live in dk and i think thats American. I am going for a 25 gallon since it would fit perfectly in my room and i already planed the fish, coral and invertebrates.
Are you planning to add coral?
Yup I’m planning on adding some in a few weeks, and maybe an anemone for the clowns
Cool
