my new tank

shellzreef · 11/01/2009, 01:21 PM

I have a 75gallon single overflow with a maga flow model 3 sump....i will be adding a 15 gallon refuge in the next few weeks...the tank has been up running for about two months I have plenty of rock and about 4 to 5 inch fine sand bed with some crushed coral mixed in. I added
1 firefish
3 bangi cardinals
one VERY small sailfin tang
(added about a week and a half apart) i have a list of fish i want....let me know what u think
black cap basslet
twin spot goby's (a pair)
true percula
springeri dottyback
mandarin
six line or fairy wrasse
orange spot lawnmower
longnose hawk
This is my first salt tank, I have worked in the fish trade for over 8 years I have two FW tanks one planted with rainbow fish (love this tankkk! =) and the other is a cichlid tank. I have always wanted to do salt but never had the money (moved in my parents basement for this reason! lol) now guess what i have my salt tank =) So I have knowledge of the fish but now just diving into it. Im going to make this s reef tank....im so excited! Im smart enough to take it slow...butt I did cheat a little and used already cycled water from a friends tank, all of my rock was also out of other peoples tanks so its all doing well..so fare!

Your fish list looks pretty good. I'd be careful putting a wrasse in, if you're intent on having a mandarin. Wrasses will eat pods, which means there will be fewer of them available for the mandarin.
