29 Gallon Fish suggestions?? - Aquarium Advice

littlej2455 · 01-30-2008, 09:19 AM

I have a 29 gallon BioCube. Right now I have snails, and blue legged crabs. The only fish right now is a goby to do some sand shifting. I was wondering if anybody could help me choose some fish for my tank. I do already have some hard corals in the tank, so I would like all of the fish to be coral friendly. Also, I was wondering if anybody could help me find a way to lower my pH becuase right now it is at 8.6, or is that an okay pH level for saltwater. I do not know much about saltwater, becuase this is my first saltwater tank. I have been running a fresh water tankfor about a year now, but I have never had a pH problem. Thanks, I am open to all suggestions.

Welcome to AA! You will get tons of the best advice here!

what species of goby do you have? I am thinking maybe a bullet goby?
Well for a 29gall reef, I would say about 2-3 more small fishies is all. Also what kind of filtration do you have? Because in a reef you really dont want to over-bioload at all. here are some good nano fishies http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/s...fm?pCatId=2124
good luck and welcome, again

I would stay away from tangs because of the size. You could always get some type of clown. As for the PH, PWC's should help you out there. HTH
