hi everyone,

we have had tropical fish tank for a number of years and have recently renovated a room and would like to start a marine fish tank and make it a feature in there.

we went to a marine fish pet shop today and spoke to the guy there at length so know some basics now but im looking for advice from people that have a tank themselves or know about them.

we are planning on getting a 4 foot tank, i would also like seahorses to be part of the tank, the guy in the shop said that is ok with certain slow feeding fish (so the seahorses don't starve), so although its a while away until we get any fish (i know we have to cycle the tank for a month of so with no fish in it then start with one fish at a time, adding another every few weeks) but what are good fish to start with ?
