tangs

my tank is 125gallons mate and yeah will be getting an anemone or do you think coz of having four clownfish i should get two in my reef

 

Ooh that should be plenty big then. Would be awesome of you could get two anenome and have each species pair take to one.

 

How established is your tank to be adding anenomes? I'm not an expert as I've only been in for a few months but the research I've done keeps coming back to me with waiting at least 6 months if not 9 months to add an anenome. I'm not adding one for fear of if it dies it might destroy your entire system. Clownfish will host other corals and rock, not only just anenomes. Make sure your system is established to be adding those fish at the same time. I wouldn't do 4 clownfish AND 2 tangs at the same time....

 

what would you say are the best anemones to get as i want two different colours and were would you place them in the tank mike

 

they do better in an established tank. also where you start them doesnt mean they will stay. they move til they find a spot they like

 

remember the motto stem. take it slow and easy when stocking your tank. dont rush things too much, will just cause problems in the longer run

 

i was think of adding the two tangs first then about a month or so later the four clowns then each month after adding four of five blue/green chromis what you think then eventually adding anemone and corals at a later date, when do you think its good to add a cleanup crew to the reef

 

I added my CUC first...put in some blue and red hermits, emerald crabs and cerith snails...

 

add the crew now if your finished cycling. ok good to see your gonna go at it slow. thats a good plan.

 

so you think that way is good to start off mate, do you think i will be able to put two cleaner shrimp and a fire shrimp in together you think they will be good together and how many hermit crabs and snails you think would be enough for my size reef
