Hello Everyone. I'm Andrew Android =D

Not sure if you would get away with having all those angels together without a big ruckus. I would urge you to have more experience before the purchase of an anemone as well. If it dies you can loose everything. But that's just my 2 cents.

 

I would not suggest a anemone either if they die in your tank it will kill everything. One angel per aquarium is the appropriate ammount. Get your self a thermometer or two. And read as much as possible.

 

Yeah, I did a little research on saltwaterfish.com, and realized that you can't keep a lot of angelfishes together D= wtf? That angers me

So granted the set of angels I listed, what would I have to settle for? Two of them? Three of them? ONE of them? D= If so, I will at least pick my most favorite out of the bunch and look to another species of fish to bring out my aquarium.

Oh, how I HATE it when you come across compatibility issues! >_< ARGH!

I guess I will do without the starfish too, especially if a longnose hawkfish would destroy it. To me, Longnose Hawkfish > starfish

Man, it's really disappointing for me to realize that I can't have all these wonderful fishes that I want =/

I wouldn't get the anemone until I know I am ready for it-- but the thing is... how will I know when I'm ready?

 

Also, I know you just got your skimmer, but I had one very similar to that Jebo and I was very unhappy with it. Very. And that was the understatment of the year. It just did not do a good job in skimming. If and when you are ready to upgrade, I will give you a few to look at

AquaC EV 120
PM Bullet-1
ETSS Super Reef Devil
Deltec APF600

If you are going to stick with the Jebo, you are going to need quite a bit of biological filtration IMO.

I have an older style ETSS Gemini which is complete overkill for my tank size (75g). But, that is OK. My water will be clean.

 

On that website they will sell you two for the same tank but they will have you sign something saying they told you not to put both of them in the same tank. They will fight each other until the weaker one dies. An anemone needs an established tank with proper lighting to survive correctly. As well as proper water params. I would personally get your water params in order and not buy anymore livestock for a little while. This hobby requires lots of patience. Just slow down and let your tank mature a little. Again get your water params in order and everything will work itself out.

 

John while you are recommending skimmers what would be a good one that will hang on the tank.
Keep in mind I am eventually getting a 120 gallon in the future. But will be getting one sooner or later to replace this
seaclone piece of junk I have.

 

Thanks, pharmrjohn for the upgrade reccomendations. I'll definitely keep those in mind for my father, and whenever he's ready to upgrade I'll let him know of those models.

Thank you also, railroader also for your suggestions. I can get a little shop-happy and eager to purchase new livestock every now and then-- but am smart enough to know that it is my responsibility as a tank hobbyist to do my fair share of research before doing so, which is sort of the main reason why I found my way to 3reef.

If I need to sit tight for a while, I will SURELY do that, but at the same time, I want to know when my tank is ready, and I want to know if my tank is safe and all requirements have been met for my future livestock choices.

Correction on my info: My tank is actually two years old, my dad says.

How can I fully determine that my whole system is where it would need to be?

 

Get yourself a full set a test kits and post the results. I keep my tank at these
Amm. 0
ph. 0
DKH 10-12
N03 0
nitrite 0
p04 0
cal 425-460
mag 1400 roughly
All tanks are different. And the bigger ones are easier to keep water params in order. I have a Red sea max nano fowlr (corals only at the moment).

 

Sorry PH 8.3
