Hello!
this is my first time venturing into saltwater and wanted to pitch my stocking plan and see what everyone thinks. I will be periodically adding coral frags as they go on sale. below I have a list of my set up and stock I would like to add. Seems like everyone has a different take on fish stock rates. I have read as high as 1" per gal which seems way over crowded even for fresh water. I would like to add a fish/clean up crew member every 2-3 weeks until stocked where I would like. I'll keep eye on numbers before adding new members and adjust equipment if necessary.
Clowns are a must since girlfriend is huge finding Nemo/Dory fan. :arg: Others are flexible. According to my reference sheet they should all be compatible with one another.
Stock possibilities:
clown fish ___________ 2
purple dotty____________1
Pajama Cardinalfish______1
Neon Blue Goby__________1
Exquisite Firefish_________1
Royal Gramma Basslet_____1
Clean up crew:
Pistol shrimp____________1
Scarlet Skunk Cleaner_____1
Margarita Snail___________2
Astraea Turbo Snail_______2
Banded Trochus Snail______2
dwarf crabs 1"max size_____2
After well established:
peppermint shrimp_________1
sandsifting star____________1
Indian sea star____________1
Nassarius Snail____________5
My set up:
35gal hex
38lbs of rock(not live yet)
3" sand bed (not live yet)
2 250gal power heads
canister filter (rated for 55gal)
heater
Tank dosed with SeaChem Stability and is cycling
165watt led on the way
protein skimmer to be added in a few weeks
I Have a 20 gal that I may retrofit into a sump in the future
Any questions, comments, or concerns are welcome!
Thanks!
Chuck
