It is a 90 gallon, with a oversized skimmer and a total water volume of around 110 gallons. The only fish that I really want to have are at least 3 bannerfish, and the mandarin. I want the cardinals mostly to add some smaller midwater swimmers.
Red mandarin (to be added after 7+ months) 2 Banggai cardinals (male and female pair) 5 Schooling bannerfish Black Long spined urchin 1 porcelain anemone crab 2 skunk cleaner shrimp 5 sexy anemone shrimp 5 pom pom crabs 2 Peppermint shrimp Various sps/polyp/lps coral Rose bubble tip anemone (to be added after 7+ months and before any coral) Thanks, Charlie |

30G / 50G Build
Hello:
I've had a 14G BioCube for almost 9 months now and things are going really well so I'm going to upgrade to a 30G or 50G system in a week or two. It's going to be a FOWLR tank with no sump. Here are the fish I was thinking about putting in each tank but I wanted to see what people thought first. The first three fish in each list are the ones currently in my BioCube that I'll be moving to the new tank. The ones after that are the fish I was thinking of adding. Some people have already told me the Pygmy Angel is too big for a 30G so it's not a problem if I can't have one in a tank that size. I'm also wondering if having two Wrasses in the same tank will work (even though they are different species). Thanks for any feedback or advice! 30G System Six Line Wrasse Yellow Clown Goby Sharknose Goby McCosker's Flasher Wrasse Shepard's Pygmy Angelfish 50G System Six Line Wrasse Yellow Clown Goby Sharknose Goby Purple Firefish Green Chromis x3 McCosker's Flasher Wrasse Shepard's Pygmy Angelfish (or the Flame/Coral Beauty)

I've changed up my plan a bit.
Here's the desired fish, in what I think is the correct order of addition to the 29 Biocube: CUC to include one peppermint shrimp to nip any aptasia before it starts. One MacNiell's Assessor (One Helfrichi Firefish) One Dracula Goby / One Red banded snapping shrimp (simultaneous add) Two Ocellaris Clownfish One Fire shrimp I think they are all compatible, but A: is it too much for the tank size and B: what is the likelihood that the pistol shrimp hunt the others? I'll be QTing everything, one at a time in a 7.5g glass cube. Do I need to give the pistol a little sand to push around in the QT? |

Thanks, Steve, for your reply. I can drop the purple firefish out of the 50G setup. My six line wrasse gets along fine with the sharknose goby and yellow clown goby and my LFS said as long as I add him last to the new tank I should be okay. And they said the McCosker's would be okay with a six line...but, of course, their job is to sell fish, so what would you expect. I can live without the McCosker's, however.
I appreciate your comments and suggestions!

75 gal
I have a 75 gal with skimmer in sump. Probably 100 lbs of live rock. led lights.white, blue and color changing.
clean up crew 6 turbos, 5 small snails, 5 hermits, 1 emerald, 1 brittle star. Corals 5 mushrooms various colors. 2 captain americas, 30 heads eagle eye, xenia, kenya, 7 heads blue trumpet, 3 featherdusters, fish: 4 clowns (2 fancy x wy) 1ora picasso and 1 black and white with orange face. 1 6 line wrasse. Had a purple firefish and an arrow crab, but they died after my dumbness put 2 new large rocks in and they skyrocketed the amonia and the nitrates. Also just got a longnose hawk, he died in my quarentine tank. my plans are to add a few more corals and 1 purple tang(later), 1 longnose hawk, another purple firefish, 1 small puffer, 1 heniochous, and an anemone. |

Bioload is fine, but I would be aware that a mated pair of clowns will want to rule the tank.

I know the Assessor and the Firefish are supposed to be fairly shy even in a peaceful tank and the goby will end up down on the substrate, but I'd rather keep just a single Clown if they're going to gang up on everything else. I had the Helfrich in parenthesis because that's the fish I thought would be the one to drop if the bioload was too high, but if the clowns are going to be problematic, even with them entering the system two to three months after the Assessor and one to two after the Helfrichi I can stick with only one of them. Is the order the best way to do this group? |

Thanks again, Steve. I wish my LFS would have told me this about the six-line wrasse before I bought it. I guess it's partly my fault, too. Before I bought it, I read that they were generally okay with most fish but it sounds like they are almost as bad as damsels. Oh well, worse case is I can return it to them and get something that's a bit less aggressive. Thanks again for your help!

My planned stocking order after the CUC with about one month spacing is #1 Blue Assessor, #2 Helfrichi Firefish, #3 Dracula Goby / Red banded shrimp pair, then #4 the O. clown (or clowns one at a time for QT purposes) and adding a Fire shrimp at the end. Does that order sound about right? Last edited by rollermonkey; 05/29/2012 at 02:49 PM. |

Thanks again, Steve. I'll probably stop after the first clown and let that settle out for a while. See how it plays out, grow some corals.
About 3-4 months after that clown, I'll hopefully be making a move to a house somewhere within 30 minutes from here, and that'll take up a lot of my fish thoughts during that window of time. |

The more I read about the blue hippo I agree with you. Did not realize how big they get. Which other grazer(s) on my list do you think I should not get?
