(now for stocking order)Got my stock list set

thanks to all those who helped i have my list

now what order should i put the fish in?

 

whats the final list? lol

 

well icant give that just yet i need to figure out whats going on, i think my cycle got stalled out im still reading high ammonia nitrites and now i also have nitrates

my ammonia 1.0
nitrites 5.0
and nitrates 20ppm
ill give it a few days if it dont change ill go to LFS and see if its my test that are screwing (or wait till the BRS group buy on Tuesday and buy it then and so on)
if it is stalled ill do a 15-25% water change

but once its done the list is
Orange Stripe Prawn Goby
2x Pink Skunk Clownfish
2x Firefish, Purple (if i can find a mated pair)
and possum wrasse

 

My orange stripe prawn is one of my favorite fish. Enjoy !

 

i cant enjoy till the cycle is over im glad im in no big rush right now.

 

I'd do the firefish first, then the wrasse, wait a month, then the clowns and then wait 2 months and add the goby so your pod population is established, but if you have pods, then do the clowns last for sure.

 

i planed on getting cheato and a bag of pods from reefcleaners when i do my order

 

I agree with Cosmo on the order, although make sure your tank has been up and running for at least a few months before adding the wrasse. My Possum almost eats pods exclusively. Mysis is one of the only prepared foods he will eat.

 

Ok ill save this, and when cycle is done ill start it. What should I look for in a mated pair of fire fish

 

You mentioned it in your other thread, but a Tail Spot Blenny would be awesome as well. I have one in my 28 and they are just awesome fish! Listed as a herbivore, but definitely an omnivore as it eats everything I feed the rest of the fish. Picks at algae all day long as well.

Not a great picture, but here he is:



Could do him and only one Firefish
