Mattias' BioCube 29 *New Angel!*

Will do. I planned to do the usual rinse to get rid of preservatives and then maybe soak in garlic. Can you recomend any soaks?

 

I like using zoe. Its a Kent Marine product. It really helps with the fish's coloration and they seem to like food soaked in it more than just plain food. I soak the food I feed my corals in zoe as well. But there are many different kinds of food soaks. Im curious to try a few more myself.

 

Cool, I've seen Zoe before but haven't picked it up. I'll check it out when I get my fish.

 

Ok not trying to push anyone's buttons or be difficult or anything but according to aquaadvisor.com I would be fine with this stock list

1 ocellaris clown
1 b/w ocellaris clown
1 royal gramma
1 yellow watchman
1 flame angel

I know that's five fish but what the website does is it calculates surface area(to estimate oxygen levels in the tank) and filtration(it used the stock biocube filtration for this but my filtration is alot better than the stock) it also tells you what you should keep
Your ph and temp at. Here it ishttp://aqadvisor.com/AqAdvisorMarin...AqSpeciesWindowSize=short&AqSearchMode=simple

 

The Gramma/Clown Pair (if they host) will be a problem, and most likely so will the clown pair and flame angel.

 

like, they won't get along?

 

Yes, the clowns, when paired, will become extremely territorial. In such a small tank, rockspace is at a high premium. The clowns will aggressively
defend their rockspace against the rock-dwelling gramma. Grammas really need to be housed with free swimming fishes. If anything I would have these fish added in the following order:
YWG
Gramma
Angel
THAT'S IT!

 

I have two clowns and a gramma and everyone is happy.

 

I've never heard that before. 3 fish in a 29g tank!?

 

In this hobby, you don't want to use bioload as the main factor in choosing fish. Although important, swimming space, maximum size, diet, aggression, and the place the fish occupy in the water column are also all very important considerations. If we used your current method, I could technically keep a Sohal tang in my 55 since the oxygen in the water and nutrient export my tank provides would be sufficient. However, factor in that I already have a larger free swimming fish that has claimed the water column and will fight to keep its territory and the fish's max size along with its natural swimming habits and the possibility of keeping a shoal tang is thrown out of the window.
