Stocking IM Fusion 20G

[raccioppi83]

Hi all,

I recently upgraded my reef tank.

Light: Current LOOP
Heater: Aqueon 100W
Live Rock: ~18LBS
Live Sand: 15lbs

Corals:

Hammer
Mushroom
2 button polyp colonies
Red zoa
Green clove polyp
Daisy polyps

Livestock:

Tailspot Blenny
Cleaner shrimp
Sexy shrimp (expendible)
Nassarius snails
Hermit crabs
Astrea snails

I have no idea what other fish I want to stick with.. something unique! Please help!

You could do like a blackcap basslett or a purple or helfrichi firefish. The helfrichi is $$$ though as I have one in my IM Nuvo 20. Or you could do a cool pair of clowns like snowflakes or picassos

 

[raccioppi83]

I've considered all those things. While they're good options.. I was thinking something more unique like a possum wrasse

Just a little update:

Found my tailspot blenny carpet surfing when I went to feed him one morning ? RIP little buddy.

But since then I got 2 baby clowns and a few new corals

and an orange sponge with another coral that I don't know attached and a mushroom came on the rock as well

 

[raccioppi83]

Not sure why the pictures double posted. I also plan on getting a Smith's blenny and maybe a Randall's goby to round out my stocking

This is a progress pic of the whole tank

Are you talking about the button polyps as the unknown coral? I have some as well.

 

[raccioppi83]

No it is directly infront of the orange sponge. It blends in nicely with it actually. A deeper hue

 

[raccioppi83]

Picked up a nice plate coral for a hefty discount because it had barnacles on it. I don't mind them and I love discounts

 

[Sniperhank]

Nice plate. I had one at one point with the purple rim. Really cool coral. Just wait, if it doesn't like where it is in the sandbed it will inflate itself and move.

 

[raccioppi83]

Thanks! I hope it likes where it is! Unfortunately where we place corals and nems never seems to be where they end up. ?

Added a nice frogspawn today
