hi,
i been doing freshwater tank for about 7 years now and now i am thinking about going to saltwater. i currently have a 75gallon tank with a 20 gallon long tank underneath going to be use as a wet / dry filter (DIY). its going to a FO only tank with some rocks. my question is how many fish can i keep in it? i know it depends on the fish size. all the fishes i am interested in are going to be about 10 inches at max (starting from 2-3 inches).
some of the fishes i am interested in
lionfish
huma tigger
tang
some sort of puffer
or maybe an snowflake eel ( or any other type of small eel.)
i am not tying to fit all those fish in my tank. maybe 3 if i can and of course it depends on their compatability. i understand the general fish rule for freshwater and wondering if it is different for saltwater fish.
according to the sticky, its going to be 2 inches for 10gallons. so i can only one big fish and one small fish in my 75 (about 15 inches total)?
thanks for ur input. i tried to search but didnt know the best way to word it.
