hi folks,
i plan to upgrade to a bigger tank from my existing 25G SWFO tank in half a year's time. I have two tank-raised percs, a banggai cardinal, a royal gramma, and a clown goby, and plan to add:
chalk bass
bicolor blenny
yellowblue jawfish
sixline wrasse
blue tang
threadfin butterfly
comet (marine betta)
flame angel
....in that order. plus i plan to add around two dozen nassarius snails, a couple of shrimps - blood red, pistol, bumblebee; half a dozen emerald and hermit crabs; plus some stars and feather dusters.
some questions:
1. this combination looks compatible, unless others have experience otherwise? also, is this a good order of adding them? (of course, spaced out over several months).
2. since i plan to get a jawfish, should i go all sand or do a combination of sand + crushed coral? if so, how do i design that?
3. for those of you who have 125G tanks, how often do you change your water? what other equipment should i get? should i get a protein skimmer eventually?
4. butterflyfish are said to be difficult. any experiences with threadfins? i have roughly a year's worth of experience by then, so i can probably try out getting one?
5. what inverts do i get?
thanks, guys!
hope to hear from you guys soon (especially you, lando! )
