24 Gallon JBJ (FT Pictures) suggestions please

[Blitz99]

this is my tank as of now, stock 24 JBJ with the CF lights. my future plans MAY include some sort of modded 70 watt halide in the hood but i'm not there yet.

i am adding a "sun anemone" and an ocellaris tomorrow (i'm hoping my black and white will buddy up with the orange one. The yellow anemone is being host to the orange occy at the store and my black and white goes into any anemone i have in the tank (currently some mini bubble tips).

other plans include an orchid dotty back

or a firefish or a clown goby.

i'm also picking up a neon green candy cane (have blue, teal, and maroon)

i'm hoping that will hold me over for a while, but please give some suggestions as to what you would change

(i'll put up some pics of my yumas that are not in view later this week)

I would do a 150 watt halide instead of 70 for that tank. JMO.

If you have or ever want to have shrimp (Peppermint, fire, maybe small cleaner) I would avoid adding a pseudochromis.

Nice tank, love the B&W clown

orchid dottys are actually very docile. I had one for a few years but i found the coolest fu-manchu lionfish in the world... ended up they actually can eat anything smaller then them.


ZMA- why a dual 150? i went from halides and a bigger tank to this nano and pc's to cut costs. i had a single 175 on a 60 that did fine so i cant imagine needing that much light on a nano cube with LPS and softies.

i should add, i have NO INTENTIONS of every doing colored sticks.

Looks Great. Love the black sand. Definately go with the 150. It will give great light and you'll be able to keep a lot of corals happy. If you go 70 you'll probably want to upgrade again.
