The saltwater aquarium hobby is a passionate hobby that is filled with a ton of information. Some of this information can seem conflicting, especially on forums. We tend to recommend checking out hobbyist clubs and magazines. The reason why is because hobbyist clubs allow you to personally connect with other peers in the hobby and get mentor-ships and group collaborate. Magazines are a great resource because the articles are written by top notch writers and researchers in the hobby. Below we outlined a list of the Top 5 Reef Hobbyist Magazines that are free to anyone in the hobby:

I adhere to a high quality Editorial Process and Review products with real life field usage and practical analysis.
I want a Zebra Moray Eel and I want the kinds of fish that really get along with Moray Eels and also I want the soft Corals and Star fish and brittle stars and Cleaner snails and The tank it’s self and 5 free Reef tank magazines
and I did forgot I can’t have a Zebra Moray Eel with the Gobies because the Zebra Eel would endanger the gobies but I really can have one Type of Eel with my gobies that Eel would be the Dwarf Eel and that’s Eel I want.
and I don’t want a too big of a tank and I just want the right size Tank that fits in my and mom’s Apartment and I want saltwater fish & a few bamboo sharks and 5 free Saltwater reef tank Magazines.
Bamboo sharks get huge. For smaller fish try small gobies and soft corals for a nano reef tank
Ok Well then I just want any kinds of saltwater fish that are small such as Gobies and other living things I do want such as soft corals and only one Zebra Moray Eel and Cleaner Snails and Some Star fish and Brittle stars
The issue is your eel would eat all your small fish
