(72"x18"-24"x30") and was contemplating a down grade to a 125, would groups of different anthias work in a 205 or would you still stick with only one kind? I was thinking 4x carberryi anthias 4x resplendent anthias The rest of the proposed stocking list is as follows. Occelaris Clown (currently in the system) Chevron Tang Red Mandarin (I have a refugium that has been online for sevenmonths now) blue/green chromis (currently in the system) McCosker's Flasher Wrasse (Paracheilinus mccoskeri) Gold Assessor Basslet (Assessor flavissimus) Lawnmower Blenny (currently in the system) Inverts Pink Anemone (currently in the system) Fire Shrimp (currently in the system) Skunk Cleaner Shrimp x2 Thanks again! Sorry for asking about the same setup a few times, I just want to check all my options before I decide to do something and then come to regret that choice. |

Tank is a 45 gallon reef. About 40 pounds of live rock, bh100f skimmer which is rated for 80 gallon and an aqua clear 50 refugium mod. I just want to know if I will be a bit overstocked with all these fish. Currently have two ocellaris clowns, a small chromis and a court jesters goby. Three fish I would like to add to the list are a royal gramma, Dracula goby, and eventually a copperband butterfly. Would all these fish get along ok and if I added slowly would my tank be ok or will it be overstocked? Total would be 7 fish in the end.

Hi I would like to get your feedback on a stocking list for a 90g that is currently cycling. It will become mixed reef of sps, lps, etc.
CUC mostly snails and a few scarlet red hermits 2 blood red fire shrimp 2 Purple and Yellow Nudibranch Fish list 1 Picasso Clownfish (Amphiprion percula) 1 Snowflake Clownfish (Amphiprion ocellaris) 1 Bicolor Blenny (Ecsenius bicolor) 1 Yellow Flanked Fairy Wrasse (Cirrhilabrus lyukyuensis) 1 African Exquisite Fairy Wrasse (Cirrhilabrus exquisitus) 1 Blue Mandarin (Pterosynchiropus splendidus) (after 9 months) Most of the information I've read say all of these fish are reef safe. Are they really and will I have any compatiblity issues? Thanks Ed |

Instead of the butterfly would a flame angel work then if I put him in last? I just don't want my tank to be overstocked with 7 fish is all. I was considering the butterfly but if my tank is a bit to small I am just as happy with a flame angel in it's place if it will work.

My tank is still in the planning/setup stages, but want to start thinking about fish.
Tank is 95g 36 X 24 X 24. I plan on mixed reef with mainly LPS and softs. about 2" of medium course sand. 1 Percula Clownfish 1 Purple Firefish 2 Gold Assessor Basslets 2 or 3 Carpenter's Flasher Wrasses (I know they're jumpers) 1 Catalina Goby 1 Orange Stripe Prawn Goby And when tank is at least 6 months cycled and stable, a Red Mandarin Dragonet. Now the contraversial ones: 1 Flame Angel, I know they are a risk in a reef, but I had one in my reef that I had over ten years ago, and it was no problem. I would love a Yellow Tang, but not sure if tank provides enough space. Thanks, Ray |

Thanks, you saved me (and especially the fish) a lot of grief. I will probably take your advice and pass on the angel and consider myself lucky with the last tank.
Probably the Tang, too- marginal size and could disrupt the peace of the community. Definitrly taking the other advice. Regards, Ray Last edited by raylinds; 04/26/2012 at 05:18 PM. |

I have a 29 gallon tank. 35lbs of live rock, 40lbs of live sand, 2-75gph powerheads, 100w heater. Lighting is Coralife 100w T5's one daylight and the other blue on an 8 hour timer. Currently there have been some hitchhikers several starfish and feather dusters. I would like to house:
2 Clowns havent decided which type 1 Watchman goby 1 of whatever shrimp buddies up with the goby. I would also like to add easier to grow corals as I learn how to keep them. Currently I'm on my second week of cycle and it sucks waiting. Thinking about starting up a qt tank just for something else to focus on. Any Do's or Don'ts that I should be aware of? Thanks JMFC |

Not sure what to get...
I've had a small fish only salt water tank for almost 4 years; about 2 years ago I decided I wanted to go reef, so as my original fish started to die off (natural causes, I assure you) I didn't replace them. The only fish I have left are two engineer gobies of large size, approximately 12 inches each, and a scooter dragonet. The interesting thing is that my engineers ate some chromis I added to the tank not too long ago, but they don't bother my dragonet. I know the engineers are too large for my tank (I got them as cute little babies) but I can't completely dismantle my 75lbs of live rock, which I set up specifically so they can't destroy my tank, without almost completely starting over. Any ideas or thoughts of what might be compatible?

I am always here to provide commentary about compatibility with the environment provided and with the stocking list.

Which Flasher Wrasse?
I'm currently cycling a new tank a 29g cube which will be FOWLR, finally upgrading my old acrylic hex tank. The only livestock I still have is my Yellow Watchman Goby. Once the tank is cycled I will be adding one fish about every two months, maxing out at 4 or 5.
I prefer peaceful community fish and I have been wanting to get a Flasher Wrasse for a while. It seems there are so many and they are so similar. Based on what is available at my local LFS (2 or 3 that I use) I am trying to decide between: Blue Flasher Line Spot Flasher Filamented Flasher No one locally is currently stocking the Carpenter's Flasher or McCosker's Flasher, but I will certainly consider those if available. I would like to know your thoughts on all of them. I'm aware that they have a high metabolism and need to be feed frequently and also tht they are jumpers (my tank is completely covered). I'm looking for a peaceful but active fish that has personality and will get along with future additions, which will all be non-agressive community fish. Which do you think is the best, and perhaps hardiest? Thanks! |
