Re: 30gal Saltwater tankmates ???

Looks good. Just stick with suitable species of clown. But keep in mind, not all clowns pair regardless of species. And removing a bully fish out of a large tank with that much live rock is a freakin chore. Trust me I've been there done that. The only way to be certain of a pairing is to purchase a mated pair. This can be costly. Not saying it won't work. Honestly I would just buy two clowns and wing it. But you should know what can happen. If you purchase one large and one small it clears up a pecking order and if it wasn't already the large will turn female. The six line is another bully species. I have no problem with mine, but the are notoriously Aggressive. Again, not trying to talk you out of it, just wanna put it out there.

As for corals you should let your tank run for at least three months before adding coral. Some say even longer. The biggest part is making sure your water quality is on part. My advice would be adding mushrooms, zoa's, Kenya tree and star polyps. They all grow quickly and are tolerant of less than stellar water quality. They will help dress up the tank while you wait. And when I say the grow fast I mean it. In 6 months they will explode, so less is more when starting out. Stick to frags, and spread them out. Before you know it you will be cutting frags yourself.
