Hi, all!
After a long discussion in my latest post, and talking with family, I am now getting a Coralife 29G Biocube. I find that it seems rather sleek, with easy maintenance. Here's the link: http://www.coralifeproducts.com/product/aquariums-tanks/
If you'd like to compliment on it, feel free.
So, now i need opinions on stocking, corals, for my reef, and a cleanup-crew. I was hoping to stock around 25G worth of fish, using the 1-inch-per-gallon-rule, saving 4 gallons for corals, filters, and swimming space. Here is my current plan for stocking, fish-wise:
2 Ocellaris Clownfish(or percula, what's the difference?)
One or two Neon Damselfish
A Pajamma(Spotted)Cardinal
This should leave my with around 5-10 gallons left to stock, I don't remember the exact numbers.
So what's a good cleanup-crew? Also, will all of those fish get along, I haven't researched them much yet, accept clowns. Trust me, if I can get a good stocking list, I'll research everything down to the last shrimp. What are some good corals? I'm planning on live rock/sand for this. And can I use Nutrafin Ready Cycle products on store-bought saltwater? Lastly, if I were to get something big later on,(I'm making sure that I can maintain everything for a while first, before really investing)such as a unit built into the wall, how would I maintain all of that?
By the way, I chose the neon damsels and clowns to get a bit of a mini-nemo type scape. Although the Ocellaris clowns should grow larger then the neon damsels, they still seem to look quite a bit like miniature blue tangs!
Now, as I found that listing all my questions in one spot makes it easier for answering and reference, here you go:
1.How are Coralife Biocubes?
2.Could I stock around 25 gallons worth of fish?
3.Can I keep fish that need 30 gallon, minimal, in a 29?(This seems pretty self-explanatory; I'm just being cautious.)
4.Would my stocking list, so far, get along?
2 Ocellaris Clownfish(or percula, what's the difference?)
One or two Neon Damselfish
A Pajamma(Spotted)Cardinal
5.What is a good cleanup crew?
6.What are some good corals?
8.Can I use a ready-cycle product with saltwater, that is store-bought?
9.Do larger aquariums require a lot more maintenance?
P.S. I probably missed a few questions/added some, so just answer as much as possible ;D
