help on first tank ever

[Hotrod324]

I started with a 30 gallon thinking it would be cheap and thinking back...over the couple months it took me to set it up i probably spent around $550 and thats without a sump. I highly recommend not going cheap on the lighting. Seriously take everyones advice and just save up for at least the lighting for whatever tank you're going to get. Even then, think about htat light that would be perfect, and get the one just better than that! Trust me...

Also, its my first tank and i have two clowns. By the time you get everything cycled and ready for the clowns, you kinda wont be a newb anymore and will have done the research by then
