My First Salterwater ( 110 gallon show)

Ha .... Oh great! I haven't looked into exactly which ones I want or how much they are. I saw some hot pinks gopstoppers at my LFS that were 20$ a head... But only came in groups of 6. I thought that was expensive?

 

Unfortunately, thats how much the rare ones run. I picked up some good deals on E-bay aquasd auctions. but you often times get outbid at the last second so it kind of sucks too

 

A new addition. I love my toadstool! It is split into two... I think I will eventually move them apart.

 

Updated tank shot. Not much has changed... Just growing some green coralline algae. My husband and I are going on vacation in Hawaii in May. We will add a fish when we get back. There are many fish I am interested in... Here are a few of them:
Powder blue tang ( I've heard these can be aggressive and that I can only have one tang of any species?)
Jaw fish
Flame angel
Blue mandarin ( does anyone know where I can buy a captive raised one?)
Watchman goby
Copperband butterfly ( I know this might pick at my coral but I REALLY want one and am willing to sort through a few before I find one that doesn't )

And I already have two black oc clowns.
Anybody see problems with this list or have any suggestions on other fish that might go?

 

Your corals will be at great risk if go through with your stated fish stocking plans. Your nitrates and phosphates will shoot way up. I strongly urge that you stop buying any livestock until you get the equipment you need and spend the time to get your tank running right in the long run. I find working the long run to be half the fun of the hobby. Happy specimens and growth from within is the other half. What do you think?

 

I would PM member 1.0 reef. He is really good with fish stocking questions. Also, what about a wrasse. Flasher wrasses are awesome. I would only add 1 or 2 fish at a time so you BB can catch up to the new bioload and you will experience a mini cycle when adding new live stock.

 

Well I'm only going to add one fish at a time and over the course of months and years. And there isn't anything wrong with the equipment I have. I'm just wondering about the compatibility of the fish Im planning ... And I think that 110 is enough space for all of them but not sure. Thank you for your comment.

 

The only fish that might not have enough space would be the Tang. A lot of Tangs require 150 gallons or more. I don't see nothing wrong with your stocking list. Just make sure you add the mandarin after you have an establish pod population in a fuge or sump (somewhere outside the tank).

 

Good Luck.:thinking2

 

What equipment are you using again? I can't seem to remember.
