Hi guys, im just starting up my first saltwater tank, i have a 40G jewel vision with 40lb of live rock and 60lb live sand, at the minute i have a RW8 power head and am waiting on another from a friends 130g (which will be set to minimum as i have too much sand movement with my RW8 set on 4) also i have an aquis 750 from my old FW which has been cleaned for salt water and just has floss in at the minute to help clear the water, when i begin stocking i may add carbon and phosphate filtration. lighting is existing jewel t5s which will be changing to LED and a protein skimmer will be purchased 2 weeks prior to stocking (any product recommendations /UK stores are welcome) at the minute i have no sump and no room for one in my small cabinet and nowhere remote to keep one either but if i have to i may have to come up with something...i hope eventually to have some beginner - moderate difficulty corals and invertebrates
Now Ive been looking at fish i like and gathering as much info as possible but id be grateful if anybody could have a look at the ones ive taken a liking to, ive researched their aggression, size, tank size, reef compatibility etc, and i believe them all to be generally peacful - aggressive towards own species only and reef & invertebrate safe (the puffer is questionable but hence why i ask) but let me know if anything rings any alarm bells, this is not the list of fish i intend to add its just a short list i am trying to make shorter with your help, also advice on grouping the fish in numbers etc is welcome
Thank you in advance
