So far I've gotten the purple FF, a followed by a 6-line, and then 2 clowns. B&W and O&W ocelllaris. My cleaner was killed and I fear it may have been the 6-line. I also didn't realize all the stories of aggression from 6-lines. I think I will be removing him. My new possible stocklist...

Ok. Thanks everyone. I'll add them one at a time unless I order get them buy one get 1/2 off. And I'll be sure to monitor regularly.

haha. definitely filtration. the only way my fish leave my tank is in a bodybag

hows your skimmer working. When I had mine in my display tank it wouldn't work well. It was a pain to get it to function consistently, if it ever did. Once I added it to my sump where the water level doesn't fluctuate, the skimmer works much better. I also don't have to look at it hanging on...

Yea black and white. They are usually about double the price though depending on size and they are pretty common around me in Jersey. From my understanding they are exactly the same, only the colors are different. I don't think it's any different to have 2 O&W's or 1 of each. Actually, most...

well that's good. I've never had a mandarin and I love the way they look but never bought one because from everything I've read, they say they need an established tank w/ an endless supply of pods. I'm assuming yours has been "trained" to eat processed food. Now that I think of it, I think wild...

Some new additions. Cleaner, Purple FF, 2 emeralds, Snails/hermits Mr. Clean Juno The HULK

I was wondering why it's always advised to add fish one at a time. I understand that the tank needs some time to allow more beneficial bacteria to grow to accommodate the increase in ammonia, blah blah blah, but why can't we add 2/3 fish? People are always adding pairs of clowns, or schools of...

Thanks guys

I decided to not take a chance and I purchased a lone purple FF. I will not be getting a regular FF. I also failed to mention I would like a 6-line. Here's my updated stock list in the order I plan on going with: Purple FF (in tank) 2 clowns: 1 O&W 1 B&W Ocellaris Midas Blenny Royal Grama...

How many lbs of LR you gonna get? 120 seems pretty good. Make sure your test kits are accurate because they go bad after a few years. PH's may not work. After 2 years, all my cheap PH's stopped working and all my expensiver ones (Koralia, Skimmer pump, QuietOne return pump) are working fine...

BTLD- Thanks again (you helped w/ my previous thread) I plan on adding the firefish as my 1st 2 fish. Clowns will definitely both be Ocellaris. Are you saying no Pseudo's because they are kind of aggressive and FF are passive, or because they there would be an issue with them being together...
