    Help A Beginner

    Hey Users,
    I am an advanced freshwater fish keeper, I've been keeping many kinds of cichlids especially mbunas. Now, however, I would like to begin saltwater. I have been researching A LOT, and found many things, I already know most of the popular fish, however, since I have no experience, I would like your help to answer the questions I have.

    Ok, so I would like to have a fowlr setup, I am thinking about a 55g.
    Could you guys tell me the equipment I would need for that tank (I know that I need protein skimmer..., but, I just wanna have your opinion).
    Then, my second question would be about the stocking.

    The fish that I would love to have would be a clownfish couple plus anemone (only invertebrate I would buy), then, I like lion fish, triggerfish (especially picasso), I like gobies and tangs in general. My favourite fish though is the mandarin...

    So, could you guys suggest me stocking list for this kind og setup?

    Thank you

    i am also reasonbly knew to keeping marine fish but i have been told that lionfish will eat things like shrinps and crabs and smaller fish. i was told that most of the larger fish like lions and puffers are opertunista and will eat most things they can fit in ther mouth.
