Stocking aq 65g, looking for some input
I just wanted to get some input. I've had tanks for many years, but never really any reef tanks, just seahorse tanks wtih softies. After much debate I decided to make my 65g a reef with softies and LPS. Might try another SPS but haven't had good luck so far. I'll get a 37g for the seahorses soon.
For fish I was thinking: 1 Kole Tang (know it is pushing it a bit but I'll buy small and trade out if it gets to big.) 1 Leapord wrasse (would like the Potter's but will settle for a bipartus if I never see a Potters again) 1 Bi color blenny (currently the tanks only resident) 1 Pink spotted watchman (moving him over from my 20g) Pair of dragon faced pipefish (Depending on how the pod population keeps up) I would also like to add another clam, currently have a crocea, would like a deresa (again trade out when gets to big) For corals: Currently have 12 zoo frags 2 frogspawn frags 1 hammer frag 1 torch coral frag 1 xenia frag 1 Red gorgonia (non photosynthetic) 2 ric frags 2 Neospongodes frags (more frags coming soon also) Would like to add 1 Brain (wife says I need one) 1 Cynaria How does that sound? Tank is currently lit by T5's. Has a 20g refugium. I also keep macro algaes in the display. Has 2 turbos, 5 astrea's, 5 netrites, and a pair of breeding peppermints. I have a skimmer but haven't turned it on yet, the macro is doing it's job for now. There is a CL pushing 1000 gph, a Seio 620, and the return pump pushes around 400gph. Might add a MJ Mod for some more flow. I'm a little over 30x an hour right now, but the CL runs through spraybars under the rock so it is pretty broken up. Any input? Thanks for your time. Kevin |

Take the pipefish off...they would die in that setup quickly. They're VERY VERY shy eaters, and with all those other fish, they wont get a thing, and they're very hard to get to eat to begin with. Plus, you talking about a reef, which will (well...it SHOULD) have a ton of flow, which IMO is not great for them IMO. Leopard wrasses are also somewhat difficult from what i hear...again, due to feeding requirements. Beautiful fish, but pretty hard i believe.
