    I've got a 30 gal with 40lbs live fiji, 25 lbs crushed coral subst. Aqua Pharm 100 skimmer, coralife 96 watt 50/50 compact flour. and Rena Filstar XP3 canister. Just wanted some good ideas for what might be suitable for this tank....I do have plans for a bubble tip, some xenias and anything else that will be suitable. Any suggestions would be great....

    Thanks!

    Banggai cardinals are nice. A percula clown is nice too. Mushrooms, zoas, green star polyps.

    Add everything nice and slowly, though. With fish, two weeks between each addition is not too long to wait, to me.

    I know this is not what you made this thread for but I'm not sure about the xenias but a bubble tip is going to need more light than that IMO and i would wait a while before you add it just to make sure that everything is stable in your tank. You might or might not know this already but i just wanted to make sure. Good luck.

    In a 30 gal, i would put a sixline wrasse, maybe a pair of clownfish, firefish something along those lines. I highly recommend the sixline. not only is it an awesome fish to look at, but it eats many unwanted pests

    Avoid dottybacks and hawkfish. They have been known to eat inverts.
