The first draft of this post was so long! I edited out the important stuff to get to the point. I tend to over-think things.
Setup is going to be the Red Sea MAX 34gal system. I'm considering a fine black sand I saw at a local store for the sand bed. The stuff I got in the starter kit with the tank literally looks like bird seed. Anything I need to consider when choosing the color of the sand? I do plan on one borrowing style fish and maybe a starfish later. Is super fine sand going to cause problems while borrowing(like easy cave-ins)?
Second- What is the easiest clown fish preferred anemone to take care of? I plan on the clown/anemone combo to be the center piece of the tank. So I the most potential for success there.
Third-The dreaded livestock questions!
Fish desired- False Perc (maybe 2), Yellowtail Damsel, and a Blenny(or goby).
Which Inverts would go best with the above? The ones I have my eyes on are: cleaner shrimp, small starfish, clam, feather duster, pompom crab, or an urchin.
I'm really interested in putting a couple pieces of Mermaid Fan Algae in the tank too. Could you see that becoming a problem with anything listed above?
