Stocking a BioCube

I am brand spanking new to the whole saltwater aquarium and have done a bunch of research online but am not sure how I should stock the tank.

As I said im most likely going to be buying a 29 gallon BioCube. I am a big fan of the clownfish especially the Onyx but I have no idea if this would be good for me.

Anyone have any suggestions for fish, coral, anemones?

Thanks,
Matt

[welcome]

What you can keep will depend on what lighting you will be using, flow, and other such factors.

Care to share any extra information about your planned setup?

The BioCube comes with 1-36 Watt 10k and 1-36 Watt Actinic. Not sure about the flow and such because the BioCube (which is made by Oceanic) isnt even on their website yet.

Thanks for the quick response.

Sorry, I wasn't sure which lighting came with the Bio Cube, but I figured it would be PC.

clownfish would be absolutely fine. with that lighting you could not keep an anemone, but they are not needed for happy clownfish, so don't worry about it.
