Post New Tank Idea

Hey everyone! I have been wanting to start up a new tank(my second) for a while now, I just havent had the money to get the set up I want. It will be a 29 gallon Bow-front with a 10 gallon sump (HOB Overflow), 30lbs LR, 35lbs LS, 2 koralia 425's, probably T5 lighting(2-4 bulbs?), I plan on keeping mostly LPS and maybe a few LPS, a pair of clowns(haven't decided which kind), a RBTA, and a few other fish...I need suggestions on a skimmer (price friendly ) and which type of salt should i use??..Let me know what y'all think. Thanks!

First get four bulb t5 to keep anemone. A good skimmer is aqua c remora. I have used a couple and many people including me think they are good ones to have. They are HOB skimmers. Reef crystals are a solid and stable salt imo.

aquavitro salinity is a really good salt to use if you plan on keeping a descent amount of corals. I keep a mixed reef with a descent amount of sps and don't rarley trace the tank.
