Starting a 40 gallon breeder tank

Vanuk · 08/28/2016, 02:38 AM

Hey guys,
I used to keep freshwater fish about 4 years ago, and also dabbled in saltwater a little. This time around I'm interest in focusing solely on saltwater. I'm starting very slow, and am doing a ton of research this time. I've always loved the fish and all the colors.
I'd like to have a pair of clowns and a small clean up crew in the tank. Nothing over the top I don't think. With this list, what equipment and beginning coral should I get? I found this list (http://saltaquarium.about.com/od/cor...5-Easy-Corals/) of beginner corals online. Is this okay to go off, or is there other coral I should know about. Should I dose the tank? Also how many pounds of dry rock should I get? Please let me know if I should consider anything else before I start this tank
