Hey Steve. You like the man to ask haha! I got some questions for you.
I am getting a 70 gallon reef tank with an sump. I also and running a full reef with mostly LPS and softies. (sorry this is all i know at the moment) What fish and other things would you recommend we put in there? I love beautiful and active fish and I would really like a good number of them. Any tips? Thanks Jake

Hi all,
Planning a 29 gallon BioCube 1 green Chromis or 1 Blue Damselfish 2 Tank Bread Clowns (Nemo's) these are a must Possibly another fish depending on what you guys think. I have 20 lbs of live sand and will have 20 lbs of live rock by Wednesday. I am not planning any coral at this time. the tank has the stock lights, pump and a 425 gph extra pump for circulation. I'll do the standard clean up crew of a shrimp, somer hermits, and a couple snails. Thank you. Last edited by indyjaco; 01/06/2012 at 09:02 PM. |

First Fish
Hi all, I have a ~35 G tank with about 20 Lbs of LR and 40+ Lbs sand, the 10 gallon 'fuge is loaded with mud and sand mix (3 inches deep) a little LR and cheato alge and a small ball of red alge that came with it. I keep morte LR in the return section just because.
I have a small assortment of snails (about 15 total) and red and blue leaged hermits (about 10) plus 2 shrimp for the CUC. So now inorder to "justify" to my G/F the time and money invested, I need something something that will "pop"against the black background, I'm thinking yellow tang and/or damsel fish, any thing else that is bright, hardy (and "cheap")? |

Thank you very much...sounds like I am on the right track.
Are there any wrasses that I could use in place of the royal gramma or am I asking for trouble? If not a wrasse, can you point me in a direction for alternatives? The more color the better. Also, would I add the livestock in the order I listed them? And again, thank you very much Steve! |

I have a 120 gal tall. 30 gal sump w/refugium. 80lb of sand and live rock. I only have a Xenia. I will be at four weeks on this Friday. I want a pair of clowns, something yellow, a Tang will do. At least one pigmy angel if I can't have two. Several wrasse and school of something interesting. And finally a Madarin by my son's request. Will these work and is there another Tang one something similarly sized that I can get that will be compatible with this list? Also what order should I get them in? Would you recommend any cleaner stock(snails etc) ? I will probably do corals in the near future as well. I have done freshwater for a year and that tank is fairly self maintaining. I want a complete ecological marine system as well.
Thanks. |
