Hello Im New To The Board! My 55 Gallon Tank!

[king-of-clowns]

Hi, i am new to this board and i was wondering what you all think to my marine setup as in choice of fish
i have got 1 pair of percula clowns(FALSE)
1 pair of clarkii clowns
1 coral Beauty
is the bio-load ok for my 55 gallon tank???/???

 

[ebeckels]

welcome...yes the bio load is fine with those fish.

Two sets of different clowns/ do they fight? I always heard they would chase each other.
what type/size of filtration do you have?
wjhat are your water readings?
unless you have a very small filter I would think you would be fine - I have about three times as many fish in my 55 gal tank with no detectable problems.

 

[king-of-clowns]

well i have to internal canisters filters both fluval 404!
what do u have in your 55 gallon tank then?

 

[bentrue]

i would deffinately not mix the types of clowns. some people have probably been able to mix clown species, but most of the experiences from people on this board and other readings will tell you that it is a bad idea. they will most likely kill each other.
maybe get a flamehawk instead? just an idea, but they are an amazing fish!!

 

[reefhappy]

yes your set up sounds good to me i think it will work good luck.

King-of-clowns,
Guess What -
I don't even have a filter!!! I use Live Rock/Live Sand - about 30 snails/25 hermits and a cheap protien skimmer.
I am planning on adding a refugium sump tank for two reasons:
as a separation tank when I see my fish fighting, a growth zone for algae which will keep my nitrates to 0.
I am using a modified Berlin to Environ System.

EXACTLY HOW BIG DOES A TANK NEED TO BE TO HAVE 2 DIFFERENT CLOWN SPECIES IN IT?

Hi all! This is the first time posting on this board. My question is how do you clean corral properly. Its not live corral. I was told to soak it a bleach and then soak it in water for at least two days. Anyone pls
Thx Cdn

King of clowns, welcome to the board. I would like to apolagize on baron's behalf for his/her uncalled for post. Now if this is sven, then get a clue dood.

Yea, I too want to welcome you to the board. I can't believe some people. And since I'm now involved with fish bioloads, there is absolutely no problem with having a tang in a 55 gallon tank providing the tang is small and the tank is not filled up to the top with LR. When the tang gets bigger, you obviously have to bring him back to LFS before he gets stressed and sick.
