Attempt #… I lost count

I realized it’s been a while since I posted anything worth mentioning
My 29 gal has been gone for several months. The fish slowly died off, and I couldn’t find out why. The clownfish was the last to die (i liked that clown). So after having a nice brake from saltwater, I’ve decided to try to set up a new tank. A small 10 gal fowlr, possibly with a few soft coral down the road. It’s not a done deal yet, but I have the tank, rocks, lights, heater, and filter (I saved a lot from the old tank). I just need sand. For stocking I was thinking, a pair of O clowns, or 1 royal gramma, and 1 clown. I don’t know what inverts I want yet, (besides the CUC)
Anyway that’s all for now, I’ll try to keep everyone updated. I’m also open to ideas.

 

Hope all goes well if you do start again. Sorry to hear of the troubles.

 

Seems like an aweful lot of fish for a 10 gallon.Every think of just doing a small coral only tank?

 

I disagree I think 2 fish is about were one should be aiming for in a 10g. GOOD LUCK!!

 

well it depends on a lot of factors. filtration, amount of rock, size of fish, and future plan for corals. Two fish in a ten gallon that's packed full of coral wouldn't be a good idea. Not a lot of fish swimming space.

 

I hate to see anyone fail in this hobby.I wish you luck.I was just saying in a 10 gallon aquarium it is hard to keep very stable.I by no means can be one of those people that say "Your way to over stocked" my 75 gallon is way over stocked but I do a lot of preventitive maintance.I consider myself a poster child for what not to do in reef keeping but have been very successful at it.It was a lot easier to maintain my 150.

 

If I get any coral, it would just be some mushrooms, gsp, or xenia

 

yeah welcome back man, good luck in the future..just make sure you keep your salinity stable when topping off and stuff, make a mark on your tank your water should always be and you wont have problems..thats the biggest problem i see with new comers..

 

Ok then I would say two would be fine. I have three, so two is not too much. Just wanted to give you some advice to get ya off on the right foot. Good Luck! keep us updated.

 

thanks
