noto the longnose butterfly because it will eat your coral

noto the longnose butterfly because it will eat your coral
are you sure I checked like 7 diff. sites that said he wouldn't.

 

[dilan]

first off that is way to small to hold all those fish unless you are going to upgrade. You look at the full grown size not what your getting it at. Have you checked live aquaria it said with caution like the sites you saw did they say exactly that they were reef safe because their is a difference between caution and yes they are reef safe they are also hard to keep you cannot be a beginner and expect to keep this fish alive. Yes take off the blenny it will go after the algea and your tangs will die or both or your blenny. Also to keep that goby you have to have a well populated tank of pods how long has it been running.

also the flame angel beautiful fish gets stressed super fast where do you bye fish the flame angel that i had died little under 24 hours yet again i am 13 but my dad is a expert and this is all do on my free time and i feel like i am now a expert been doing marine fish for 5 years and that flame angel is hard to keep alive.

 

[dilan]

if your looking for that yellow color substitute the kole and get a yellow or naso. yellow in my opinion is way eaiser to keep i kept my yellow in a 55gal for 6 this used to be my dads tank know my dad has a reef 180 and 55 reef.

IMO you are still overstocked. If you are planning to go with a reef system that is a huge bioload with what you have listed. You also need to consider the aggressive nature of those Tangs, they require a lot of swimming space and will be territorial. I say go with one. Also Anthias prefer to be in groups and a picky eaters and need to eat several times a day. Falcos are great and full of personality they like shrimp so if you are thinking about getting some shrimp keep that in mind. Mine got to be a nice size and was even tempered. Just a couple more things to consider.

yeah I know about the falco and anthias... Could I be able to add anthias when I upgrade?

 

[ak_reefer]

I would say dont buy for what you want buy for what you have. Plan on the system you have which is 90 gallons, when you buy and set up a larger system then add. Even though you plan on upgrading in the future you dont know when it is no need to cramp fish and have issue when it is not necessary.

Sump with built in fuge and protein skimmer. 90+ pounds. Yes. probably softie low light corals.

 

[dilan]

thats a good list but i agree with him keep only one tang unless yuou introduce them at the same time and aren't the same body shape

 

[spongeycrab]

Do you think adding three tiny barnacle blennies would overload my bioload? They only get 2". Wait the hawk might pick on them... Right?

 

[dilan]

you are correct the hawk will pick on them if anything take out the hawk and just put one barnicle bleeny because you will probably have other algea eaters and that won't leave enough for the 3 blennies

Barnacle blennies are actually carnivores and don't have true ability to eat algae like most blennies. Also they don't well alone.

 

[dilan]

well then it might be ok but i would only have 2 because the male might fight over the female unless uget 2 females and 1 male but take out the hawk have u had experience with a one spot foxface

 

[spongeycrab]

Some small changes to the list
Flame Dwarf Angel
3 Barnacle Blennies
Black Cap Basslet
3 Blue Reef Chromis (Chromis cyaneus)
Pair of Ocellaris Clownfish
Red-Lined Wrasse (Halichoeres biocellatus)
(if you don't what the wrasse is...):
Bold, beautiful, and brimming with personality, the elegantly-striped Red-Lined Wrasse makes the perfect addition to your showcase reef aquarium. Also known in the hobby as the False-eyed or Biocellate Wrasse, juvenile Halichoeres biocellatus and sub adults are easily identifiable by a pair of ocelli on the dorsal fin which disappear with growth.
Pinkbar Goby
Blue Star Leopard Wrasse (I know, I know... see bottom)
Lemonpeel/Chocolate Mimic Tang
B.S.L.W. explanation:
I know, I know super hard to care for blah, Blah, BLAH. Well I my friends I have a plan... After my tank has cycled I will stock my fuge. with pods (which will have miracle mud, live sand, macro algae and L.R.) then when I buy my B.S.L.W. I will try to get one that already is eating frozen. If she won't eat when I take her home I will keep her in the Q.T. for an elongated time till I can fully ween her onto frozen.

that sounds like a pretty good fish good luck
