Have a 29, and am looking for more stock. Was thinking about the pro's and con's of my current set up, Future plans and aspirations, and possible stock list
Looked at my availible resources (equipment, finances etc) and narrowed down a fish list
Checked out some reef tanks, 29 gallons and looked at their Seemingly Overstocked Tanks, What seems to be crazy stuff, Snowflakes and Tangs in 29's etc. Multiple Angles etc
I don't necessary agree on these species, but with smaller species, and the amount of healthy tanks that are Overstocked, I felt as if I could do it,
WITHOUT JEPORDIZING THE HEALTH/MENTAL WELL BEING OF THE FISH, and meeting their specific Specie Requiremtns
Decided after seeing some 8 fish in a 29, perhaps i could do it too. This person is known on the web,and own's reefs that inspires us all.. Melvs reef or something
Here was my Plan
Current Inhabitants
2 ocellaris clowns
1 royal gramma
Want to add
Flame Angel
Yellow Watchman Goby
and 1 smaller fish. like a blenny, jawfish, something in that size range
Would It be possible
Keep up on my water changes, say 20% roughly 10gallons Weekly
think I underfeed my tank... fish are oportunistic Anyways
Can't complain about my skimmer.
What do you Think?
Can It be DONE?
