55G, restarted about 3 weeks ago...
going to wait another 2 weeks or so for tank to continue cycling, has been looking good so far, tank was cycled w/. 20# LS, and I add about 1 decent sized piece of LR/week (aprox 5# ea.), right now theres is about 20# of LR, want to get up to around 30-40# before I add fish. One of the tanks did had a blue leg hermit hitchhiker, and he appears to be doing well (very active).
Please let me know if any of this sounds like an over/underkill/suggestions.
Heres what we are looking to eventually have. (please ignore any spelling errors
)
A *peaceful* reef tank. The better half would like an anoeme w/ a clown (black percula), other than that, just a colorful, active tank.
We are going to SLOWLY build up to a reef tank, starting out with a FOWLR, letting it get established, then sometime late this year-next year st
art adding some corals if all goes well.
A few suggestions for a first fish &/or some must haves (aside from a cleaning crew, which we already know we'll need) will be much appreciated.
I know she would also like a yellow tang &/or a spotted sweetlips, but i have already warned her that i think the tank may be too small, am i correct in this? I thought that tangs would be better off in a 90+. I managed to find a compatibilty chart, to use as a guideline, but have been unable to find a size chart to see what all would be well off in a 55g.
Sorry for the long read, and thanks in advance for all comments/suggestions.
