OK. FISH QUESTION. SALWATER. 10 PTS.?

A 29 would be better. Keep in mind, you want to provide 10 gallons of water for every fish. This gives you room for a couple tankmates. Also, splurge on a gl cover, instead of the plastic hood. Getting salt deposits out of that pebble grain plastic is a DRAG! Other gear: A good biological filter like a Emperor 280 or 350 Penguin, and extra pump for circulation, a small protein skimmer, submersible heater, hydrometer to measure salt, testing supplies, aragonite substrate, a good 65 watt compact fluorescent light, and salt mix. Figure at least $500 when all is said and done. Also, grab a copy of the book "The New Marine Aquarium" by Michael Paletta. It's under $20, and is super for beginners.
