my girlfriend convinced me to to a reef tank and after a long time think i i would like how does this sound.....most are for beginners:
Metallic Green Open Brain
Red Open Brain
GREEN TOADSTOOL LEATHER
YELLOW DEVIL'S FINGER LEATHER
Green Clove Polyp
Orange Ultra Colony
DEEP BLUE MUSHROOMS
GIANT PURPLE TIPPED SEBAE ANEMONE
Ricordea
featherdusters
right now i have about 41/2 in of LS and 90 pds of LR in a 75 gallon tank. I have 2 175 haildes lighting and a prizm skimmer. i have 3 power heads with good water movement. im think about this for livestock:
2 tomato clowns
1 yellow watchman gobie
6 line wrasse
jawfish
2 firefish
and the following inverts.....
1 serpent star
25 Scarlet Hermits
5 emerald crabs
fighting conch
3 peppermint shrimp
25 turbo snails
this is the order im planning on putting thinds in after the tank has cycled:
2 weeks after cycle put in inverts
2 weeks later put in 6 line wrasse and 2 firefish
3 weeks after that jawfish and gobie
1 month latreer put in 2 tomatoclown
then ill wait about 61/2 months for corals.........
is my light good enough and how is my livestock...any help will be great....thank you

Unless you have algae for the cleanup crew i would wait for a little while. I have heard that firefish should be kept with just 1 or 3 to a tank.
 
Iam at my friends but this is sandman12 , u can e-mail me at milkmanf12@aol.com
ur lights r good, for ur starter corals dont get a brain that will be one of the last corals. The fish sound pretty good, just add slowly and only 2 fish at a time max, like 2 of the same fish.
U dont have to wait 2 weeks after cycle for inverts u can do it rite after or to be safe like 5 days after
U can also im me when iam on aol , milkmanf12
HTH good luck u'll be happy u did a reef tank:D
