Hi need to know the best starter fish/coral that would be good for a 60g SW aquarium.
Thanks

You'd need to give your lighting specs if you want advice on corals.
As for fish, Tank raised clown fish are allways a popular choice for a first fish.

I second that... some tank bred Clowns would be great starter SW fish.

Starter corals?

Softies such as Toadstools, leathers, mushrooms & zoo's were a good starting place when I 1st got into reefs.

All were easier to keep & more tolerant of my mistakes than LPS & SPS that I kept later on.

Would that be metal halide, or do you mean the best you can afford?

right now i have not so powerful lights but after the curing process i'm going to hopefully have either a job or alot of money. when i have around 120$ should i buy lights or a skimmer first unless i can buy both used?
