Stock list for 55 gal

m_wonnacott · 08/21/2009, 09:04 AM

Ok so the tank so far looks like its going to be a 55 gal with penguin filter with likly just carbon for now or may go with a dual Carbon /GFO reactor instead depending on money when I do the start up. Will be running two korilia 3, 300 w heater, standard florecents with 50/50 bulbs. Had a 2bulb T5 but was literaly scrubing for algea everyday and don't want much if anything for corals anyway so decided to sell it. I will be running a Octopus Hang-On 800S w/ Sicce pump for a skimmer.

So what I am looking at for stock list at this point is as follows

-A pair of false percs
-tail spot blennie
-bi color blennie
-pair of blue flasher wrasse
-bi-color or red stripe dwarf angel
-royal gramma basslet
-2 porcelain crabs
-cuc

How does this all look together? Which should I add first after the tank is cycled?

just make sure that dwarf angel is the last fish added to your tank,I had flameback dwarf angel and i could not add any more fish after this becouse the dwarf kept chasing new fish to the point that they got sick or got killed

Looks good to me, if I was you I would add the blennies at the same time, that way neither 1 stakes claim to the tank 1st....the possibility still exists but in a 4 foot tank if added at the same time there's much less of a chance IMO....

I'd pick just one blenny (that's with a "y") to avoid potential aggression. I'd go with the tailspot.
