PLEASE check out your intended fish purchases here first!
Well I've spent time going through fish and getting ideas of what I'm going to want. This is a preliminary list of fish I reall liked, the Lionfish and the cling fish being my two personal favorites from my little list. This will be on a 55 gallon tank and of course coral and the such. Break it down for me good sir.
Fish list Fuzzy dwarf lion Watchman goby Sailfin Blenny Yellow stripe cling fish Anthias Leopard wrasse Cardinals Wayyyyy down the like I would love a mandarin (who doesn't) and a reef friendly trigger. But that's ways away. Last edited by CoralReeForrest; 05/30/2013 at 05:59 PM. |

Let me explain a bit about what I have going on right now, currently I have a 125 gallon tank but will soon be downgrading to a 29 gallon tank and in the future I plan on having a 75 gallon tank but who knows when that would happen. What I would like to do was to get some of the fish for my 29 that I would eventually transfer it over to the 75 (all the fish i would get for the 29 will be appropriate for that tank)
So this is the plan for stocking the 29 gallon sumpless (sorry I made a similar post the other day and wanted to check the changed plan) Tanaka's Pygmy Wrasse (Wetmorella tanakai) Midas Blenny (Ecsenius midas) (Live Aquaria says 30 gallons but I'm hoping 29 will suffice) Pinkbar Goby (Amblyeleotris aurora) Gold Neon Eviota Goby (Eviota pellucida) And this is the plan for the 75 gallon with a sump Midas Blenny (Ecsenius midas) Pinkbar Goby (Amblyeleotris aurora) Gold Neon Eviota Goby (Eviota pellucida) Carberryi Anthias (Nemanthias carberryi) McCosker's Flasher Wrasse (Paracheilinus mccoskeri) Tanaka's Pygmy Wrasse (Wetmorella tanakai) Diamond Watchman Goby (Valenciennea puellaris) Flame Angelfish (Centropyge loriculus) Lemonpeel Angelfish (Centropyge flavissima) White Tail Bristletooth Tang (Ctenochaetus flavicauda) Spotted Mandarin (Synchiropus picturatus) Is this too many fish? I plan on adding the mandarin after the refugium has online for a year. I plan on adding both angels at the same time and as the second to last fish and adding the Tang last. Thanks again for the help. Last edited by rogermccray; 05/31/2013 at 06:32 AM. Reason: changed one fish |

Thanks, the plan is to supplement with Nori, is it just the two angels and the tang that are algae grazers or is there another one?

Hello Snorvich! This thread finally made me register here. I've had a 10 gallon, first SW tank ever, running for over a year. No deaths but Im meticulous about it's care. Im starting a 40B to transfer everything from the 10g into there. I currently have 2 Ocellaris, 1 sixline, fire and peppermint shrimp, and several snails.
The 40B will be running an AC70 fuge mainly for pods but to supplement filtration. AC110 for mechanical and chemical filtration PSK-100 skimmer rated to 100g G2 Radion Mesh for the jumper. 40lbs medium grade substrate. Tropic Edens miniflakes mixed with their reef flakes. 25lbs live rock, I have minimalist tendencies. Besides the 3 fish Im thinking about adding a Midas Blenny and a yellow watchman goby. Thank you! |

Just put together a 65 g- it's going to be LPS dominated. Another 12ish gallons in the sump with a skimmer and a refugium. 3-4 inches of sand and I do have a lid.
I have 2 ocellaris clowns. I plan to add: tail spot blenny 5'ish yellow striped cardinals hi-fin goby/pistol shrimp combo helfrichi firefish if I can swing the $. purple if I can't. hector's or rainford's goby and something along the lines of a long-fin faery wrasse or linespot flasher wrasse Too many gobies? Peaceful enough group? |

55 Gallon with about 60 lbs of live rock and about 1 1/2" live sand. No sump. Fluval 306 for mechanical filtration, as a sump isn't an option right now. Haven't added a skimmer yet, but will before adding fish. Quad T5 lighting fixture. Not fully cycled yet, but not planning on adding fish yet anyways, testing at 0 ammonia and all other peramiters are still in check. Have a HOB aquaclear that I plan on converting to a small refugium. Plan on fish and soft corals. I'm at least 2 weeks away from adding fish.
Currently have 1 blue devil damsel on loan from LFS to help with cycling. They will take him back, or I could keep him. He's probably too aggressive in the long run. I'm thinking of a mix that looks something like: 1 or 2 Banggai Cardinals 1 or 2 Ocellaris Clownfish 1 Dwarf Flame Angel 1 Lawnmower Blenny 1 Royal Gamma And I would love a yellow tang, but I'm leaning towards thinking that a 55 isn't going to keep it happy. As far as the CUC, I really want a couple of nice shrimp and am leaning towards hermit crabs. Any suggestions for a good CUC for this set-up? Any other 'worker fish' I should consider? Am I going to need a jump screen with any of these choices? They seem to get tricky when you don't have a sump and you have equipment hanging inside the tank. ![]() This is my 1st ever saltwater set-up. I've kept freshwater fish for years, and yes, I see that this is a whole new ball game lol. Last edited by cbass488; 06/03/2013 at 10:35 AM. |

55 Gallong Saltwater Stocking Recommendations
I’m starting up a 55 gallon marine tank initially as a FOWLR system with the intention of making it into a reef system with soft corals, mushrooms, & polyps down the road. I currently have 25lbs of Pukani + 10lbs of Fiji + 30 lbs of sand. My filtration will be a combination of a CPR bak-pak 2R hang-on-back protein skimmer and 2 power heads pushing 170 gph each.
As far as stocking I’m considering: 1 royal gramma 1 canary blenny 1 pajama cardinal 1 falco hawkfish What do you think about the above fish with my setup? My intention was to a have a mix of methodically swimmer (pajama cardinal), active middle of the water column swimmer (canary blenny), active next to the rock swimmer (royal gramma), and a bottom swimmer with some personality (falco hawkfish). |
