At this point I wouldn't be putting in any fish, the tank needs to cycle first.

hey
 

how long does it need to cycle?? and i was planning on waiting just needed some ideas on fish when im rdy to purchase

ussually a month, all depends on how your tank cycles. yes its torture

as for fish, i would only put like 3 or 4 fish in there. personally i would have a tailspot/bi-color blenny, royal gramma, and a clown/pair of clowns

Yup! I failed!!! Lol silly blackberry!

I would honestly wait atleast 3 week before adding anything... Then teat you watern add a small clean up crew and wait a few more weeks. There is nothing fast about this hobby. But the results are worth the wait!

3 fish should be good! Clowns, a chromis, a shrimp and a few cool crabs and you should be good to go! Research your fish, some look good but get far too big for little tanks like a 30gl!

thanks alot.. what kind of clean up crew would you recommend?? I really like the lion fish what our they like? to big for a 30? im thinking of getting the hang of this for 6months or so then slowly doing a 125 or bigger
