I want to set up a counter top display. I am thinking of a IM Nuvo Nano 8g. No sump or skimmer, Chemi-Pure & Purigen for filtration, and frequent water changes (5-7 days) for export. Live Rock & 2" sand bed.
I would like to feature a Orchid Dottyback and Yellow Watchman Goby / Pistol pair. Other inhabitants would consist of various snails, Softs, and LPS. |

Yellowtail Damselfish
Hello,
I have a JBJ 28g LED setup, using tunze 9002 skimmer and doing weekly 15% water change with RO/DI. My tank is almost 2 years old and have several LPS, SPS, softies, a clam and BTA. Fishes: Pair of ocellaris clownfish hosting a BTA. Sixline wrasse. Yellow neon goby. Royal Gramma. I've been wanting to add a 6th fish to the tank and would like to know what you think about a yellowtail damsel? would it be too aggressive toward others? maybe the sixline would be aggressive toward it? is the system heavily loaded and maybe i shouldn't add another fish? thank you.

Tank is set!!!
Ok we just got our 230 gallon set up and cycled and have already added one Lion Fish which is doing great so far. We have decided to make it an agressive tank.
With the purchase of the tank we also were given a ****** and a young snow flake eel. Will the eel and ****** be safe with the Lion, and also can more than one Lion be added to a tank this size? The Lion is small only about 5 inchs long and the lfs had a couple more the same size. Thanks |

I am just getting back into the hobby. Took a 6 year vacation from it but I can't stand it and am going to jump back in. Here is what I am about to purchase over the next few weeks. Keep in mind I'm starting out fish only with live rock for a while.
120 gal tank 135 lbs live rock Refugium -not sure on what kind or custom. Not the best DIY guy Skimmer - Again not decided. I want one that more than does the job. Lights - suggestions. I have a compact flo setup from my previous tank Desired fish: Purple Tang - must have over all other fish. Every tank I have setup in the past had 1 Flame angel Powder blue or yellow tang. If my tank is large enough. I know it is said not to mix tangs but I see it a lot. I won't do it if consensus says not to. Cleaner or fire shrimp Blue green chromis Bangaii cardinal Percula clowns |

Thanks for the help.
Looks like I might hold off on the jawfish because I have less than 2 inches of sand in my display. now time to try and track down female mccoskers. And I have had the cardinals together for about two years, I assume if they were going to be any aggression I would have seen it at this point. I bought them as juveniles and never researched how to tell the males from the females. I have had the Sally Lightfoot for a year or so and have tried to watch out for aggression (missing fish). I have yet to have a problem other than my female clown and it fighting over food on the occasion. I keep a close eye on the crab, and any worries I can also put it in the sump. Plenty of room for it there. Thanks again for your time and help Last edited by kahkah; 05/17/2012 at 01:13 AM. Reason: Spelling |
