which type?? pls don't tell me the LH type. serious don't think that is a good idea.

it is possible to use a hang on filter, though but you have to be more hardworking in the water change.

I hope you read up deep_end's article because marine fishkeeping unlike what most may think, its not like freshwater where you can plunge in without any knowledge and still get away with it.

Those overhead filters are not a good idea at all. The powerhead that pumps water up can produce quite abit of unnecessary heat and when water leaves the outlet, it splashes down into the water.

Bubbles in the water will cause salt spray which will lead to damage of metallic or electrical equipment at and near the tank.

just to keep some liverocks and a few nemos....

about how many nemos can I be putting in?

The fact that tank of this size is way to small to put several nemo, in fact i adult nemo is consider too much Bio-load. If u want long term success i'd advice u to take up bigger tank, such as 3 ft.

how about damsel fish????

That size is real hard for beginner.
Start with sometime more comfortable.say 3 footer.
But if you insist on that size,than read and understand more on
water management first.

Due to the small tank sizes, many fishes are not suitable and even if they are, you can keep around 2fish only.

Don't even try damsels, though beautiful, unless kept alone, they can become a nuisance once they start becoming aggressive. Once their aggressive, they would attack and possibly kill any new comers to the tank.

Successful in smaller tank is possible, however it needs
plenty of input(maintenance) from u. If u still bent on to start
with smaller tank, then do note these pointers:
1)Use fan or chiller to minimize heat. But using fan as cooling device
will make evaporation rate very high, thus raising salinity to very
high, keep a close watch on this, or else it can stress or kill live stocks.
Daily frequent top off will offset higher end salinity.
2) Do frequent water change, total volume per month should not less than 20%. Testing couple with changing r useful here, for example u want to control nitrates below 10ppm. The test result show 50ppm, at this point u’ll know how much water change is needed to put that value to scale.
3) Utilize a deeper sand bed, & use less live rocks.
4) Use an air driven skimmer, this will not create too much heat.
5) Keep livestocks level to a minimum, but this is somewhat irresistible
to newbie soon after u will over stock your tank.

Lastly have patience & do thing slowly, do more research in what u
Want to keep 1st.

just went to IMM, they got a ID shop there with very nice marine tanks, wonder how much it cost....
