ReefNewby82 Posted August 30, 2018 Report Share Posted August 30, 2018 How much live rock and sand? What is your filtration and maintenance habits going to be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reefaddicted Posted August 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2018 The tank has 35 pounds of rock. I am running small sump with filter sock and vertex omega 130 skimmer. Plannning on weekly water changes. No sand anywhere in the system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReefNewby82 Posted August 30, 2018 Report Share Posted August 30, 2018 I would think 5 or 6 pending fish and size What are your thoughts for stocking? Have you thought of using marine pure ceramic media for additional surface area for bacteria? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3FordFamily Posted August 30, 2018 Report Share Posted August 30, 2018 It depends on the type of fish. A goby, a flasher wrasse or possum wrasse, a Pygmy angel, and a couple other smaller fish would be my go-to! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than that my daughter wants something pink. I would also like cleaner shrimp. I just want plenty of color and movement in the tank. I guessbi should add the rock was dry when it went in.

And my wife wanted an angel but i wasnt sure they were reef safe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
