30 gallon stocking

[mikeo2]

Hi all, I have a 30 gallon with 30pounds of live rock cycling right now. With this being my first saltwater tank, I'm sticking with a fish and live rock setup. What would people recomend for fish species and how many? I like clowns but it seems like everyone has them because of nemo so I'd like something else if I could.

whats the the budget? There are many excellent choices for nano tank.

or maybe a pair of designer clown fish?

No real budget but I'd like something nice and bright.

I've got a 30g with 2 osc. Clowfish, a six line wrasse, and 2 yellow clown gobys and they all get along (well except the 2 gobies). Also had a chalk bass before he plummeted to his death. Check out Igreens stocking list, it will give you a good idea.

Personally I like basslets and assesors. Great fish which are also reef safe as I bet in less than a year you have some sort of coral.

not bright or pretty, but i love the personality of a tailspot blenny
