The chromis and cardinals are schooling fish and its reccomended that they are kept in groups with some exceptions.

Why not ask your lfs to order a pistol shrimp to pair with him?

Could be the emerald crab if he doesn't get enough food.

How long do you acclimate this way? How often do you add a cup of water and how much water do you add? Its possible to acclimate this way but the drip method is probably less stressful because its a gradual change. Airline tubing costs like 2$ at a hardware store and you just tie a not to adjust...

Not my tank, but is this what you guys want?

The growth speed of mushrooms will depend on a large number of things. They prefer water with more nutrients and they like light but dont need a lot of it. They can move around your tank and leave a part of their foot behind and that would eventually grow into a new mushroom. I have read you...

They would only take over other corals. And growth speed will vary from tank to tank.

The other thing with all corals but specifically Xenia is that it will spread and take over almost anything in the tank. Mushrooms are known to do this as well.

I would do just some zoanthids and some mushrooms and if you wanted to you could glue green star polyps to the back glass and let then spread.

I use a fluval 406 and a sea clone 100 with 80lbs of live rock in my 60 gallon reef which has 7 fish, radioactive dragon eye zoas, an aussie meat coral, candy cap montipora, hammer coral, pulsating xenia, toadstool, and a sinularia finger leather coral.

I would do a purple firefish and a yellow clown goby but that's just my opinion. a red firefish would look cool with a green clown goby too. Just a matter of opinion and how much you want to spend.

I had a question and i figured since some of the other forums are bigger it might provoke a faster responce but it turns out it took longer then expected and then i got a two word answer. Where here i post my question and its answered much faster.

Mine is the shyest fish in the tank. It will vary from fish to fish. I guess I got lucky.

+1 on clown goby great little fish.

Coral Banded shrimp are fine as juveniles as they mature they grow more aggressive.

Maybe a kole tang, mine has a great personality, was shy at first but now he is so curious, also best friends with my one spot foxface.

My kole tang took around a month to start eating frozen, pellet or sheet algae, he picked off the rocks a lot. Starting with a healthy fat specimen definitely increases the chances of success.

That looks more like a sump then a refugium to me. Sumps don't really need directions everyone does theirs differently.

60 Gallon Reef In The Works!

The reason your tang has only grown half an inch is fish will only grow to a certian point in a small tank. If that same tang was in a 200 gallon system it might have grown 1-2" because it has the space to grow. A fish will never stop growing but keeping it in a smaller tank could slow down...
