Clown fish died

My small clown fish has just died after 3 years. His mate the larger female misses him so the the question is would I be ok buying another one or can I get a small black and white clownfish.


Are these bad??

Hi, I'm new to saltwater tanks and trying to deal with a very steep learning curve. It feels like it's one thing after another, so the thing for today is I've found these on the under side of my Elegance coral could somebody please tell me if they are good or bad
Thanks
Mark.

Help set up my first reef tank

Hi all,
I am new to this forum and i am here as i am going to be setting up a reef tank by the end of June(i like to plan early to avoid mistakes). I have been keeping freshwater fishes for 2 years and was at a lfs when i saw a beautiful reef tank and really wanted one. My new reef tank will be a 30 1/4 x 12 1/2 x 18 3/4 (inches) 29 gallon tank as i think that is a good starter tank size(but mainly because that is the largest tank i can fit in my house). As i am new to saltwater tanks,i decided to come here and ask you guys,the saltwater tank experts, some questions on how to set up my new reef tank.

Part 1:Tank stocking
1)How much live sand and live rock?
2)Fish stocking
3)Coral stocking
4)Clean up crew

Part 2:Equipments
1)Lightings
2)Filtration
3)Do i need reactors(calcium reactors,media reactor,kalwasser reactors,etc)
4)Do i need skimmer?If yes,which brand do you guys recommend?
5)How many power heads?
6)Can i not use heater because where i live the temperature(29 degree celsius) is the same all year round?

Part 3:Others
1)Food
2)Water additives

That is all i have for now.Sorry for the questions and thank you for reading my post.Thanks in advance.
