    Fish For 12 Gallon Reef?

    I just wanted other peoples opinion on fish I could get for a 12 gallon reef tank. I know I can probably only get 2 fish. My thoughts were a sixline wrasse, AND......I have no clue. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Cleaner/Skunk Shrimp?

    So two cleaners, a peppermint, 2 astrea snails, 8 hermit crabs, and 2, 3-4(max size) inch fish won't be too much for the 12 gallon tank??? Ill have corals eventually... And about 15 lbs of live rock. As soon as i can afford the lighting.....

    Small Protien Skimmer/12 Gallon???

    I figured the flames were.... I was thinking about an Orangespot goby, I don't really want a neon goby but i may settle for one. Maybe a royal gramma or a firefish. Are feather dusters worth getting? Thought about getting one or two and also thought they would help with clean up...

    Small Protien Skimmer/12 Gallon???

    He's on my list of fish to get. I heard he may eat my shrimp though.... Other than that I know he's great for reefs. I was also thinking about the Bangaii/Budda Cardinal or a Flame angel. I really don't know, since i'd rather invest in the corals right now and then get the fish.

    Small Protien Skimmer/12 Gallon???

    I was planning on placing them at the top. Way ahead of you. Everyone i've talked to has said that so long as i get them up by the light. I'm not going to get to extravegant with the corals. Just the simple ones that can live off of the lower light. With the water change would you suggest 2...

    Small Protien Skimmer/12 Gallon???

    I have an eclipse 12. I plan on installing 30 watts of light. My final goal is for mushrooms and polyps not sure on the quantity, 15lbs of live rock, 2 :3-4 inch fish and of course all the cleaners (snails, shrimp, and crabs). So bimonthly should do it? What about screwing up the cycling of...

    Small Protien Skimmer/12 Gallon???

    Are you sure about that? I've been told that I don't need one because the tank is so small, and I've been told I do need one because I'll have corals.... I guess if i get enough cleaners in there the tank will be fine??
