Hi and Welcome to Fishlore. I'd love to get a salty tank but I'm not going there yet..lol.
Your 30 gallon seems pretty overstocked. Do you plan on getting a bigger tank in the near future??

Welcome to Fishlore. If you dont have MTS you will after reading on here for a while. As I sit in my livingroom and type all I hear is the bubbling of tanks all around....quite relaxing really. Best of luck on your saltwater. Maybe one day I will get brave enough for one but not just yet.
