Aquarium Advice Regular
The fish, when you get to them in the larger tank, is a whole other story. Some fish find a spot and stick to it. Others roam around freely. Some species can be kept with the same species while others can't. Aggresive is aggressive and if an aggressive fish wants to bully another fish of any kind, it will. There are a lot options regarding this subject. This in the inhab list in my tank..
Standard 55g undrilled tank(no sump/refugium)
260w p/c
emporer400(used occassionally to run carbon and other media)
AquaC skimmer(HOB)
Seaclone150 skimmer(HOB)
2 Sieo M1500's
approx. 65lbs LR(no other mechanical or biological filtration)
3"-4" aragonite sand bed
FISH:
2 false percs(2nd fish addition-hosting a bta)
3 Green Chromis(added directly after cycle-started with 6-these are often preferred to damsels)
1 Coral Beauty(3rd fish addition)
1 Yellow Tang(final fish addition)
1 Cleaner shrimp(added right after cycle)
1 Emerald green crab(added immediately after cycle)
about 30 different snails and hermits(mostly cerith snails and blue leg hermits- ther's a few oddballs in there)
I won't go down the coral list, it's too long and aren't sure if you want to eventually add corals anyway...Keep us posted and keep the progress pics coming, too....Good Luck!
