36 gallon bow front

[Tipton34]

Howdy, I have a 36 gallon bow front with about 50 pounds of rock. A coral beauty, two small tomato clowns, and 3 damsels. I have a 10 watt 14000 k and 20 watt Actinic led floodlight. I will be moving so I'm planning on getting rid of the damsels. What are some good suggestions? They need to be coral friendly since I have some dragon eye polyps and plan on getting more once I purchase a protein skimmer

Tomini tang?

Tomini tang?

They do grow up to 6 inches though

Ya I would love a tang. I was thinking a yellow tang or something with bright colors. I know they would eventually grow out of the tank but I'll be graduated from college in a year and plan on upgrading. I would like to have a couple of smaller fish such as a Goby, Wrasse, Anthias. But I want a fish that stands out. I haven't decided any specific species I'm just getting ideas.

Also, what corals would Yall suggest? I don't really know how to tell if their is enough watts per gallon with these leds. I've read somewhere that some had about the same wattage of floodlights and didn't have a problem with any corals

If you plan on upgrading there's no reason why you can have a baby? It will take a couple years for them to grow up

Lighting? Your way off, you will need more, way more at least 100 watts for your coral

I may get one then! I guess that really opens a lot of doors

Even leds? Everything I've read says that since they are larger leds instead of 1 watt lights a piece I don't need as much.

I scooter Blenny would be awesome however since I don't have a refugees will one be able to survive on the pods in the tank. Last time I checked they were everywhere but I didn't know since I didn't have a refugium

I wouldnt get a dragonet unless you are very very sure it is going to eat prepared foods. IS your tank somewhat new? Tanks tend to have varied amounts of pods during the first 6-12 months and I woudlnt count on the pods you have now being enough.

Yeah I know I sent the posts to the wrong form I'm sorry

 

[ivan_dalmatia]

Yeah you don't want to go with the Dragonet

That's what I thought. Awesome fish though
