Hi All,
Well, I just got my first tank up. I bought a used system from my LFS and had them come hook it up. Here's what I have
80 gallon
100 lbs live rock
20 lbs live sand
60 lbs aragonite
40 gal sump
2x96 power compacts 1 blue, 1 white.
Protein skimmer, magnum filter, UV sterilizer..etc.
I'm hoping for a FOWLR tank. Haven't put any fish in it yet. I'm looking for suggestions. I want small fish, peaceful community.
Here's what I like:
yellowtail damsels (to cycle?)
chromis
perc clowns
catalina goby
flame angel
coral beauty
cortez angel (too big? too aggressive?)
banded angel
rainfordi butterfly
bicolor blenny
mandarin goby
royal gramma
I'd like to have shrimp and/or crabs...I love the arrow crabs!
I'm getting a little overwhelmed from conflicting LFS opinions
and wanting some real advice from folks with experience.
Which fish should I get? And in what order. I know I can't have all of them, but I'm trying to give you some groundwork...
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Jenn
