Stats:
-120g rr aquarium
-125g long sump
-29g refugium
-reef octopus nwb 250 skimmer
-BRS dual reactor with one chamber running biopellets one chamber empty
- DIY 84 3w cree led fixture
- Apex controller
Parameters:
-alkalinity 9.6 dkh
-calcium 445 ppm
-magnesium 1450 ppm
-Ph 8.1
-temp 76.5
-I havent measured ammonia, nitrates, or nitrites in years and i had the phosphates checked about 6 mos ago and they were under 1ppm.
I dose Brs 2-part solutions and run kalk in my top-off and I dose two little fishies acropower twice per week and a little less than recomended
-I test alk and calc twice per week and mag and salinity once and sometimes i test salinity more if I am trying to match water for changes or new additions etc.
Stock list:
-Kole yellow eye tang approx 4-5"
-yellow tang approx 4"
-trio orange lyretail anthias
-mated pair pajama cardinals
-mated pair picasso clowns
-1 lonely chromis
-1 starry blenny
-1 green mandarin
-1 black/white damsel( fuge)
-1 decorator crab(fuge)
-mated pair turbo snails
-hundreds of baby turbo snails
-5-10 misc hermits
-5-10 astrea snails
-5-10 nassarius snails
-2-3 bumblebee snails
-countless mini brittle stars
-50 or so of the little starfish
-1 clam**
and I got this many corals:
In my fuge I grow chaeto, caulerba(the one that grows solid blades forget the scientific name), red graciliara , and I have 8 mangroves along with a bunch of various algaes and a few toadstools.
Also I feel it pertinent to mention that I run 2 koralia 4's I think theyre 1150gph and I run one wp-40 on wave 1 mode, so I have a pretty good amount of flow going on. I feed New life spectrum small and medium pellets, freeze dried blood worms, Hikari marine A pellets, Hikari seaweed extreme pellets and cobalt brine shrimp flakes in an eheim autoaire feeder set to feed four times a day and adjusted to dispense enought that its eaten within a few minutes,and 2-3 times a week I feed a homebrew frozen food that has scallops, shrimp, seabass,mysis, brine shrimp, baby brine shrimp, squid, fresh clams, bloodworms, rotifers, cyclopeeze, silver sides chopped up for feeding some of my lps corals,fresh broccoli,red and green nori cut into small pieces and I juice it up with a little kent garlic extreme and selcon and also 1-2 times a week I feed BRS reef chili and once or twice a week I feed New Era marine grazer rings.
So my question is can I add more fish and if so what are some options. I'm looking for just some more diversity/movement/colors, I had a coral beauty eat a clam on me so I would like to avoid dwarve angels, and I feel like another tang would be a bad idea. What do you guys/gals think about a different species of dragonette or blenny, maybe a royal grama or some type of wrasse? Thanks for reading thru my novel about my tank
