stock list

Hi all, Newbie here, trying to plan out my stocking list. I've read that you should add the most gentle fish first, and most aggressive last. Given that, what order should I add these fish in: - Pair of ocellaris or percula clowns - Scarlet or longnose hawkfish (depending on which I can find)...

Hi all! I have a 32g that's been up and running for about six months now, though it only got its first fishy inhabitant in August. It currently has three occupants at the moment - two Ocellaris clownfish, and a very tiny "yellow" watchman goby (that isn't yellow at all). Trying to decide which...

As I'm currently cycling my Reefer 250, I've been debating a stocking list consisting entirely of nano fish to provide more interest and diversity. My thinking is smaller fish=more fish=more interest and interaction. Who is running a setup like this, and what are your thoughts and lessons...

New to the hobby, but I've done some research and I'm finally planning my first tank. I'm hoping to go 90 gal minimum, hopefully closer to 110/120, reef tank plus a sump with refugium and skimmer. Corals will be mostly soft ones (not jumping right into SPS or anything). I've gathered a potential...

Stocking ideas for 16gal Biocube. Need opinions on this stock of fish. We are pretty open on snails so any you think would be beneficial to the tanks overall health we are open to hear about. If there is another fish you think we can sneak in please do tell we are fully open to see what other...

Going to be getting a Waterbox 50.3 AIO and would like some recommendations on stocking it if you have a moment to take a look! Keep in mind, the whole system is 50gal so the display portion might be ~40g if I had to guess. 2 Clowns YWG/Pistol Pair Mandarin Long Nose Hawk Tailspot Bleny Sand...

I haven’t really had a need for a CUC yet, but I’m getting worried as to what I should put in. Any suggestions for a CUC for a fluval seaevo 5 tank? Tank is below.

So from my previous thread you can see that ive been having a really bad aiptasia problem and had to restart my tank. This tank’s specs are: - dimensions: 81 x 26 x 24” - 210 gallons - sump is 3/4 of the tank. - 50 gal fuge (just in case) - over qualified skimmer - sulfur reactor - media reactor...

Hey everyone! So I've had my system running post cycle little over 6 months now and interested if I can add another member to my tank. I've been hesitant because I rather understock than overstock, but yet I see people with this tank throwing 8/9 fish in and I'm just not sure. Right now, I...

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...

Hello I am trying to put a list of fish together for a new build and I'd really like to stock it with fish only found around the Hawaiian islands. If you could give me some ideas that would be great. Also its for a 75 gallon and I'm sure ill be upgrading that as well at some point.

Just got a new-to-is Biocube 32G yesterday! Woohoo! We previously only had a 13.5G so this is really going to be a nice sized upgrade for us (yes I know it is still considered nano/small lol). The tank had been up and running and I believe used for housing anemones. It came with sand, water...

SO we are finally getting to the part where we gotta come up with a list of future inhabitants for our new ~220 build. Tank is 72x30x24 and the aim for the tank is a nice mixed reef with large LPS and some easier to keep sps (not going the full Acro route, been there, too much work). Tank will...

Hey guys! So I have room for one final fish in my 32 gallon cube and I want it to be something a little different and special, but I don't know what. I thought I could use some help! I want something interesting and that would add a splash of color. My tank has been running for 8 months now...
