Aquarium Advice Newbie
Hi, I'm new to this forum and this is my first thread, but i have some questions to ask if you don't mind taking the time to answer.
Well, I have had experience with coldwater, and freshwater aquariums for probably about 7 or 8 years, and I've been reasearching on nano tanks for almost a year now and decided that I would finally start one to be my first saltwater tank. At my LFS ( The Living Aquarium ), the store owner, recomended that I start off with the 29 Gallon Oceanic BioCube. The total cost will be $650.00 for the tank and "S"-stand.( Is this a good deal?) I am so excited but i'm only 13 so I don't have a job yet, but i have already saved up half the money i will need. Once the tank has cycled, I hope to have some Zoas, and mushrooms, button polyps, ect...
I don't think I will start off with too many corals, but over time I would eventually like to have the following fish/Inverts,
2 Perc. Clowns
2 Flame Firefish
1 Royal Gramma
1 Cleaner Shrimp
5 Blue Leg Hermit Crabs
Does this sound overstocked, any problems you can point out with livestock selections? Special care needed? Any advice will be greatly appreciated!
Thanx -
Andrew
