Hi to all Master out there... 

Would to seek for all your precious advice before setting up my 1st marine tank. 

Much apologies, if my questions sounds ignorant/shallow as I'm still learning in the process... 

 

- Looking for 20 / 30 gallon tank       ( is it okay to work with NO SUMP ? plenty of cleaning crew + HOB / built in filter + skimmer + LIVE rock )

- Planning to keep  [ 1 clown , 1 tang , 1 more (any recommendation)  ]

- Shallow Sand Bed 

- Planning to keep some Coral in the future   ( hope there's enough room space for 20 / 30 gallon tank )

- RO/DI  ( is it necessary to have this ? )

- Lighting  ( T5  without coral should be ok ? ) 

- Chiller  

- Filter Media  

- Power head 

- Wave maker

- testing kit

Go without the hob filter. Try to avoid filtration that would contain stuff within the water. Ok without sump but get a good hang on skimmer. Ur tank is small u can buy rodi water from farms, use mineral water. People overseas use tap water with seachem prime with salt. I am not sure if you wanna use tap water as your tank is small and moreover I am not sure about the corals you intend to keep. I have a fairly large tank.you can check out my video.
