I have made a estructure for not to touch the crystal of sump. In the future, in this estructure will be the macroalgae.

My installation will have 2 SunSun of 3000l/h, Bubble Magus NAC6 Skimmer and external filter of UV.

I believe that the best thing is start with a pair of clown fish in the beginning.

¿Some idea more?

Thanks in advance.

Clownfish will be cool.

Without knowning what you are wanting it is impossible to suggest what you should stock first.

I suggest you post what you want to end up with otherwise you are likely to only get the following answer:

Clowns (assuming percs or false percs) should be fine they are generally hardy fish though you need to complete your tank set-up and properly cycle it first. The first thing you add after the tank completes it cycle is at least part of your intended clean up crew before you add any fish.
I suggest you continue to take your time and read up on everything before you add any fish to this tank.

Welcome to the hobby and good luck.

Thanks for your answer.

My fist idea is maintence a pair of clowns and perhaps some coral. I am reading all the possible one but I must translate and I am slow, jaja.

Have you checked in your area or at your local fish store for a reef club or people who might mentor you? Having someone(s) who has been in the hobby for some time might help you get started off on the right foot and save you alot of mishaps, money and time (verses trying to translate so much info). Saltwater/reefkeeping is best done SLOWLY because there is alot of information (and opinions :-) )...Good luck and welcome to the hobby!!
