looking for advice and helpful hints

[oceanprincess]

Hello, I am new to this site, I already posted something but in a different place, I was told to come here. My boyfriend has a salt water tank and I would like to start my own. Although he will be helping me alot it doesnt hurt to hear new info and advice ya kno? I havent bought any thing yet. I want to get a tank and put like a pair of clown fish and an anemone, but I dont know much about them. Although I will be reading a lot and taking in as much info as I can it doesnt hurt to hear from you guys. So if any one is willing to help me I'd greatly apreaciate!!!
Thanks!!!

Here are a few articles you may want to read. The first thing you'll want to realize is that nothing happens fast in this hobby. . .well, it can, but usually with disasterous effects. The clowns you'll be able to get after a couple months, but don't make the same mistake I made and get an anemone too early. Wait 6 months as an absolute minumum. Most people advise having your tank set up for a full year to make sure it's stabilized. Anyway, here are the articles:
