55 gallon stocking.

tymon · 04/06/2011, 10:39 AM

i have a shrimp goby, kleins butterfly, 4 fire shrimp, 20 hermits, 20 snails in a 55 gallon. i have 40 pounds of LR and will be adding more. I run a protein skimmer and a eheim pro canster filter which i clean weekly. i have a few powerheads two. i was thinking about adding a dwarf angle either a CB angel, Flame Angel, or potter angel. i was wonding which one is best. i also was going to get one Clown fish False Percula Clownfish aswell. and i was wondering if i could add a wrasse aswell or would this over load my bioload. i am adding a intank refugium very soon with macro algee. my tanks is doing very well been up for about 7 or 8 months.

How are your snails doing? 20 hermits and 20 crabs seems like a lot to me. I'm simply curious

they are doing great the hermits do not bother them at all. i had to get rid of three nassarian snails because they ate the a couple hermits for some reason.
