Bio Overload?

[Travis L. Stevens]

Would a mated pair of Percula clowns and a mated pair of Bangaii cradinals be too much for a 26g bowfront with 10g sump/fuge? They seem to stay in a rather small territory. The bangaiis kinda stay rather in the same spots, and if a percula finds a host, they don't stray too far. I'm thinking of a BTA and possibly sexy shrimp. As a recap..

26g bowfront with 10g sump/fuge with skimmer:
2 Bangaii Cardinals
2 Percula Clowns
1 Bubble Tipped Anemone
3 Sexy Shrimp
(Possible mushrooms, zoanthids, or xenia [most likely not])

Also, do you know of any corals that are either white, black, or both?

I think you would be ok

What are the dimensions of your tank?
My gut tells me that you'd be ok.
I'd think the cardinals would stay away from the anemone, so your clowns wouldn't feel too threatened.

thats what I was thinking too. i think the dimensions are 24x15x21. thats what All Glass said...i would be guessing that its 24 long, 15 tall 21 deep? Either way, its rather cubical with ample up down, side to side room

[Travis L. Stevens]

also..think a BTA would thrive under 24" T5s? I don't know what the what would be but i bet i will get the biggest i can get out of the 24'' I will be putting it in a specially designed enclosed hood

[Travis L. Stevens]

wow...i was really tired when i wrote that but this is a "clerifying bump"

Would a BTA live under 24" T5s with the highest wattage I can find? Is there a halide system that i could mount in a hood without overheating a smaller tank?

[Travis L. Stevens]

one last bump. i was hoping to get a little more detailed information from other sources.
