fish additions

Hi everyone! My first time posting here! I’m looking for some advice on fish stocking for my 120gal mixed reef. The tank is 5’x2’x2’. I have a large sump in the basement - total water volume 170gal. The tank has been up and running for 3 years (including a house move) and has a majority of SPS...

Hello I was wondering how many fish is okay to add in my tank and if these fish are compatible and able to all live together. I Have: 2 Oscellaris Clownfish Royal Gramma goby/pistol shrimp pair fire shrimp I Want to add: 2 banggai carindals fairy wrasse ( open to other ideas: types of wrasses...

Good morning r2r! What’s everyone’s opinions on adding copepods? Before or after fish are added? Should I have the refugium up and running or the dry rock will provide enough hiding spaces? I’m about 6 weeks into my initial cycle of a new 125g long and triton 44 sump. My test kits are still...

Thank you first off for reading and your possible help in this situation! I am getting a 125gal set up. Right now just going over some fish just so I can have a mock plan for the future. Will not be getting any fish till at least 2 months or more from now, as I will be doing a very deep clean...

Hey everyone I'm thinking of adding 5 or 6 Talbots Damsels to my 55 gallon reef. The tank currently has a sail fin tang, lawnmower blenny, chalk basslet, clownfish and twinspot hogfish. The tang is still small. Would it be okay to add Talbot damsels?

Hey everyone, so I'm working on a new build for a 30g frag grow out tank. Gonna be mostly zoas and softies and some LPS. Any recommendations on fish? Really thinking only 1-3 max and preferably useful fish like algae eaters and pest control. Trying to stay away from a 6 Line, heard too many...

Hey Reefers! Finally reaching the 1 year mark on my first full custom build and it’s coming along great! I’ve been in the hobby all my life thanks to my family and couldn’t imagine life without a tank :). I’ve got 5 other established around the house as well (Reefs, QT, cichlid) This Tank is...

I have a Reefer 250 mixed reef tank that has been up for about a year. My current stock is below and I am looking for help on what new fish to add. Angels and Anthias are out. I feed once a day. Don't really have much of an algae problem so don't necessarily need another grazer. My Nitrates 5...

Hey Reefers, I've always wanted a large school of Bangaii Cardinals, they're the fish that got me into reef keeping/ marine aquariums! Sadly I can't afford to make a large school of them since they're $26 per fish at my LFS. That being said, I'd still love to have a decent school of fish in my...

Hey all- I am currently cycling my new Red Sea Reefer 425XL and am thinking about my fish list and would love anyone's opinion on how many, if they get along and the order I am thinking..my list below is in the order I would put them in although I was hoping to put the first 5 in at once as the...

I just cycled my fish tank and getting ready to add my first ever salt water fish this weekend. I picked up a hydrometer and Phosphate, Calcium, and Alkalinity test kits at the saltwater fish store because that's what they recommended. My specific gravity was 1.021, Phosphate levels were 0...

Hi, I recently moved my aggressive clownfish so that I can stock my tank with more peaceful critters while she’s away. It’s a 20 gallon tall with LOTS of rock and flow, algae, sand, anemones, and pods. Current critters: soon to be pair of ocellaris, small mandarin dragonette, a tiger conch...

There is and has been much debate over whether, or not, to dose aminos, vitamins and elements for corals and fish in marine aquariums. I am curious as to what other marine aquarists use or don’t use. I perform weekly water changes and only have pico or nano aquariums. However, having said this...

looking for some stocking list ideas for a 110g high tank (48x18x30) with 40g sump Looking for a couple staples: Goby/shrimp combo (probably just a candy stripe and not a tiger) Maybe 1 blue chromis (in groups I find they just kill each other off anyway) I like Anthias and Wrasses- Just...

So I recently added a Maximus clam to my 30g reef tank and it is adapting great but every night and sometimes in the mornings it will have a bristle worm or two on the shell, I've been removing them with tweezers but I know that this is not sustainable. I always wanted to get a clam so removing...
