Hi everyone im starting a 30 gallon saltwater I am going to do one predatory fish that can get along with others hopefuly and a few nice corals nothing to crazy. I was wondering what the cheapest light fixture is to keep coral. Also what kind of predatory fish could get along with a clown fish. and is there a specific way to stack live rock? also i have a 200 bio wheel filter that does 50 gallons is that sufficient enough? or i herd alot of people just have skimmers would it be okay to just get a skimmer? and last but not least lol how many powerheads should I put in a 30 gallon and where should i put it/them

Predatory fish usually do better alone I hate to say or with other equally aggressive fishI was wondering what the cheapest light fixture is to keep coral. T5HO is the cheapest if you want coral unless you can find a metal halide on craigslist for cheapAlso what kind of predatory fish could get along with a clown fish. none, clowns are pushovers. even damsels kick their arseand is there a specific way to stack live rock? you can use super glue or reef puddy to keep it from fallingalso i have a 200 bio wheel filter that does 50 gallons is that sufficient enough?you should go with a sump or canister filter for best results or i herd alot of people just have skimmers would it be okay to just get a skimmer?you need to have plenty of established live rock to go filterless and last but not least lol how many powerheads should I put in a 30 gallon and where should i put it/themthat depends on the flow rate. you should be ok with 2 powerheads doing 400gph do some research on where to place them. I use one 500gph powerhead and its ok I will likely add a second one soon

hope that helps

You don't need a skimmer as long as you do partial water changes once a week.
