Any advice for newby appreciated

[Mrs.porkypuffer]

Hi guys, so I just got my 350 reefer tank after a few years of wanting one, the only reason I started looking for one was because after visiting a aquatic shop for my tropical tank, I fell in love with the porkipine puffer, so I really want one in tank, I know they eat coral hence I have only live rock no coral. So any ideas in latest technology and equipment I'd be very grateful, also what fish to put in with mr porky, I know they can be aggressive so definitely want to make the right choices. I have the HD led 26 lights and I have a skimmer in the sump a pump on return pipe and a propeller on the tank. Is there anything else I need?
Thanks in advance guys can't wait to start my little adventure!:spin1:

No suggestions on tech. But I will tell you something i tell everyone else starting off. 1. Plan. Know what you're gonna do to stock a tank and don't vary (much). Do your research on compatibility. 2. Quarantine quarantine quarantine. Nothing worse than screwing up your ecosystem because you are impatient to get a pretty fish in your DT

A great place to start is the sticky in this forum called Setting UP its the one with the big red arrow. http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1031074

A great place to see compatible fish with your puffer is Live Aquaria http://www.liveaquaria.com/

I highly suggest you start with the Setting up thread as there is a ton of stuff you need to learn and it's all in that thread. Good luck and if you have any specific questions don't hesitate to ask.

This is good info.

Also, an amazing way to do this hobby, is find a tank you admire. And copy it exactly. If it worked for them, and you copy every step, it should work for you.

This hobby has good room for exploring new ways to do things, but unless you can afford huge losses, it's best not to travel down that road.
