I'm planning on starting my first marine aquarium in the next week or so. I
have a few questions though,
1)I'm planning on getting a 55-60 gallon tank and using sand on the bottom
of the tank, in combination with a canister filter.Would it be ok to put a
airstone or two in the tank as well, I like the effect it produces? Will
this be sufficient filtration or do I need another type as well(if so, what
type)?

2)What type of lighting should I get for my fish only tank, I'd like the
tank to look as good as it can with a nice blue tint but I dont know what
type of lighting will be good.

3)I'm starting with a fish only tank because i think it will be simpler to
start out on and because im a poor college student, but I was wondering how
hard it will be to change the tank into a reef tank later on?

4)Finally, can you reccomend some good first timer fish that look pretty
good?
