Aquarium Advice Apprentice
First off hello and thanks in advance for the help.
I am looking at setting up my first sw tank. It will be a 55 gal FOWLR. Im planning on using roughly 60 pounds of sand. Is live or dry better than the other, i know some pros and cons but any help in this area is appreciated same goes for rock (live or dry)? Also whats a round lb rule of thumb on rock (ie. 1 lb per 1 gal). As far ad filtration goes ultamitly i would like to go with a cannister but for now i may go with a few hob filters running 500gph of filtration And a skimmer attachment.
As far as stocking goes these are not a must but am leaning heavily towards.
- Tailspot blenny
- Saddle valentini puffer
- A goby (taking any thoughts on this one)
I do like some of the dwarf angles and my kids really want a clown fish so that will probably be another option. But i do have a question about having a CUC with the puffer? Can you have a CUC with a puffer i know its part of their diet but is there any fish that could help?
Again guys anything im missing would be greatly appreciated, so please bring the questions to me aswell!
