Red sea max 250 build

Thats true. LiveAquaria is confusing me today... A peaceful temperament but will track down and eat other peaceful small fish. But a small one might be what I'll get... Just get big clowns, big blenny, and big wrasse. And skip the YWG.

 

I like it! Very similar to my proposed list for my 55 gal (which I plan to add in this order):

Royal Gramma
Possum Wrasse
Tiger Watchmen Goby
Tail Spot Blenny
2 False Perculas
Coral Beauty or Flame Angel

CUC:
2 Skunk Cleaner Shrimp
1 Coral Banded Shrimp
Snails from Reefcleaners
??

Although the sea hares are neat, they seem to have some specific requirements (including a lot of open sand). If you set your tank up right, I am sure it could work though! Either way, looks like you are well on your way to an awesome tank!

 

Oh gosh I guess you're right about the Sea hare. I was planning on a lagoon-style aquscape, so sand would be in the front middle. But... I will have over 1200 GPH running through the tank with the two filter pumps... The flow alone would tear him apart.

By the way, thats an awesome stocking list! I used to have a small blue tang in my 55... Had it for four years and never got icy. I did find the cleaner shrimp cleaning it up a lot though. They're useful critters.

 

Oh, and beware of the coral banded shrimp. All the non-clawed shrimp I've had (Cleaner, peppermint, blood), have been.... "ripped" by my coral banded shrimp.

 

Never heard that before, so thank you!!!

 

Thanks and good to know! 8)

 

I meant ich, not icy... Sometimes auto correct gets the better of me.. Anyways, the pickup date changed to Monday, the 25th. With any luck, I'll get sand, water, and a few pounds of live rock in the tank before I leave on the 30th.

 

These are Groupers and have large mouths even when juvenile. They also like subdued lighting and do not make good reef additions.

 

Thanks for the warning! I thought it looked sort of like a grouper.. I guess I'll go with my alternative stock list. Thanks again!

 

Well I picked the tank up today and cleaned it up a bit. here it is!
