anarchy02 · 05/31/2014, 06:12 PM

Heres the future fish list... I know I like to have a full reef.

Another black and white clown
Hi fin red banded goby
Red mandarin
3 spotted cardinals
3 acares midget reef chromis
Starry blenny

So fully grown ill have a total of 31" of fish. So I over shot by 2" since I like to do an inch a gallon but I figure with the sump/fuge being a 29 also then ill be ok

Windirmere · 05/31/2014, 06:46 PM

oo you might catch some flack with the Mandarin, they have very special needs that are worth looking up.

Ok thanks for the warning ill research it more

tallball158 · 05/31/2014, 07:16 PM

I'm not trying to shoot your list down, I'm not one of those people, but I think you will have a hard time getting that many fish in that tank. The old freshwater rule of thumb for 1" of fish per gallon doesn't really apply here. It's not so much that your tank can't handle the bioload, it is the fact that saltwater fish can be very territorial and it is more of a behavioral thing.

Ok from the list what do you recommend. Im all about listening to everyone opinion. Thats why I post everything lol. Im still new for saltwater. When I had my 120 it was great because I could put alot in there haha

Good outlook on it but corals grow and spread

anarchy02 · 06/03/2014, 08:00 PM

Any opinions on the fish list for the future? Other than the red mandarin its off the list unfortunately

bfin3 · 06/03/2014, 09:54 PM

I would get a purple firefish and orange prawn goby in addition to your clown.

Get the smallest clown you can find, it will make it easier to bond with the one that you have.
Get a pistol shrimp to pair up with goby. They make an interesting pair to watch.
I would only add 1 other fish. A smaller blenny like a tailspot or a bicolor would make a nice final addition.
There is no inches per gallon rule that should be followed when doing saltwater tanks or freshwater imo.

Yeah I know there's not, but I like my tanks to be lively with lots of movement.

I'd go with the goby you listed if that's the one that you really like. Apparently chromis kill each other off so I wouldn't get those. Starry blenny will be a little large but could work. I had a different blenny at one point and he mostly just laid on rocks. He also nipped sps/lps and my fingers when I put my hands in the tank. It didn't hurt but it felt weird and always startled me. I haven't really wanted to get any blennies since, but the starry ones are neat looking and the one I had was a different genus so maybe it would behave differently.

On a side note way to have a halide. Hang onto it and you'll be happy.
