Aquarium Advice Apprentice
I have a 70 gal reef tank that finished its cycle about 2 weeks ago. The ammonia and nitrites are 0 and all other perametes have been stable.
I have a DSB and 40lbs of LV with 60Lbs of base rock with the LV from LR.com so it has plenty of life.
I put in 5 emerald crabs and 5 pepermint shrimp. I see them ocationally but I can't swear all are alive as there is pleanty of places to hide.
There are 2 chocolate ship stars, snails, and a few other interts.
There is an type of Xenia but I can't remeber the name and an orange tree gorgonian. My lights are 2 96watt PC. There is 2 PH for water flow both have a guard on the intake to prevent something getting stuck to them.
I have 4 domino damsels and no other fish. I have a very large wet/dry and a large P.S. both rated for over 200 gals.
So...
I want to add a couple more fish in the next few weeks.
Here is what I'm thinking for 1 but will look for suggestions for any others. Keep in mind I'm not rich and live in Chicago where prices can be a bit higher. I also plan to add some more coral frags at some point.
I want to add a tang (not a yellow one something different)
So on my budget and tank size
I was thinking of:
Scopas, Kole Yellow eye, Or convict tang. I'm only adding one and that will be either the last fish or maybe a few bottom dwellers.
Any good coral frags suggestions or bottom dwellers you think would go well.
Any other info you need? I probally gave to much as it is.
