Greetings to the community... I really want to start a marine aquarium... To be honest, I am a complete beginner in this matter, and I would like to do everything right. Since I can't afford a particularly large size, the aquarium itself is not big, around 30-40 liters. I definitely want to have clownfish, probably a couple of them, plus 1-2 other species for variety, no more. Is it worth adding shrimp as well? Perhaps I need someone to act as a cleaner for the aquarium... Of course, I need substrate/sand, and surely some corals to recreate a favorable environment in miniature... In this regard, I ask for help on where to start, how to do everything correctly, how to choose the inhabitants of the marine aquarium properly... And of course, how to care for it in the future so that my efforts are not in vain, and the living aquarium does not turn into a desert... I would be very grateful for any advice and help in solving my task. Sincerely, Konstantin.

P.S. Which aquarium is better to get, a complete set or everything separately? P.S. I'm afraid this is just the beginning of my questions, but I'm ready to learn)

Get the Aquael Nano Reef 30. It has everything for a beginner saltwater aquarium on a small budget. A pair of clownfish in an anemone, a yellow-bellied chromis, an orange-back pygmy angelfish, a pajama wrasse, and a cleaner shrimp. And soft corals. Water changes once a week of 3 liters. And you will be happy.

Read this: I liked it. However, I assessed my abilities and have currently abandoned the idea of creating a sea at home.

A pair of clowns, and how many others should there be? To avoid overcrowding. I understand that live sand and live rock are also needed, and which corals are the best? I am studying this issue in more detail, while also making a list of what is necessary and how to do it. It is clear that there will be many more questions, but I would like a sort of plan of action and activities to do everything correctly and achieve the desired result.

This is as much as the system can handle. You will see over time. It's not necessary, and sometimes even harmful and dangerous. You can use dry sand and S.R.C. (dry reef rocks). If you are from Odessa, contact Denis and Taras (2Crabs) - they will help and enlighten you. P.S.: Regarding the lighting, if it’s not an Aquael set, be careful when choosing the light. Often, the ice from our Kuli-bins is money down the drain.

Well, I've already started my first marine aquarium. I'll tell you more about it later with illustrations.
