The answers to that will determine what lighting you'll need. You may also want to get an overflow/sump. Best thing to do is starting reading as much as you can & then decide what you want to keep. Everything should fall in place from there.

Good luck.

I have been doing research on the computer for about a week or so. I would love to eventually have corals as well as sponges in the tank but I have heard they are hard to care for. I know that i want some clown fish and anenome's ( my daughter loves nemo) and some inverts. I would love to have a tang as well. I know the anemone's need allot of light. I know this is an expensive hobby .....if I go the free tank route...will i be saving some money in the longrun? What products are the best to get for the money plus the quality;or will it be more trouble than its worth and i should just go with the cube. The only thing i dont like about the cube is the veiwing area and all the horror stories of it cracking. I imagine my 29 gal and being able to have that much veiwing area as opposed to the cube. Im just really lost as to which rout I should go.
