My little Ocean

[yhanlee]

Hi All,

I'm a newbie here, just wanna share my setup and get some advice. Uploaded some pics first

 

[yhanlee]

It's a 2ft tank with sump tank. It's up and running about 1year already. So far, I have
A pair of nemo, a six line and a saddleback clown who is stressed because
Being bullied by the others! I intend to put one last fish. Any recommendation? Thinking of adding a Niger trigger coz it is
My fav fish. Is that a good combination? Any advice will be welcomed

 

[Gti_Leo]

the trigger might be to big and is a rather aggresive fish so i wouldn't attempt to add it

 

[Mr. Crabs]

Nice tank.....and yeah, the Niger would not be a good addition. They get big.

I wished my tank looked that good beautiful tank no advice from me but I have a few questions on your sump could you show a few pictures of it and explain the design?... I have been working on my own sump that I will soon be adding to my 26 gallon tank

lookin pretty good everything seems to be happy and healthy

Looks very nice and clean!! ,.. A big no on the trigger,.. Needs a much larger tank

Thanks to all . Will upload my sumptank pics tomorrow to share. It's actually kinda small and I'm just using a cheap skimmer for skimming.

Btw, I have just removed the saddleback clown to the sumptank due to constant harassment from the sixline. The fish is really a little devil 

 

[SteveFishman]

That will soon happen to my damsel

shoulda moved the 6 line rather then the clown, they re introduce it in a few weeks, let it re adjust to the system and not be so territorial

Yea, it would've been better to put the sixline in the sump. Any other docile fish you put in the tank will be nipped at by the sixline too. Funny thing is my clownfish is as peaceful as any other, but put your hand in and he goes to town trying to eat you lol.

I wish I could, but having a tough time catching the little devil .

My simple sumptank

Weipro skimmer with rio pump
Rio return pump
Rio chiller pump
Filter sock

Rio pump is a bit noisy, eheim should be a better choice.

That is a similar set up to mine.... I am still in the works of completing it and buying everything for mine

Good to hear that, what are the things that you are still lacking now?

 

[SteveFishman]

A return pump, overflow box, and return tubes and such.... But that's all so it's almost completed
