Quick ponderment...
I have three tanks. 125, 42, and 25. I was going to convert the 42 gallon tank from fresh water to salt water. I want to do a coral tank but I have never done that type of tank before.
My question is would it be better if I made the 125 gal (already salt) into the coral reef tank with the coral safe fish or leave it the way it is?
The stock in the tank is
1 Powder Blue Surgon
2 Maroon Clowns
2 Clarkii Clowns
6 Snails
and 1 late foxface fish
My second question is, If I do make the switch will the fish be happy in a smaller tank? I would keep the two maroon clowns in the reef tank. I wouldn't be able to split the other 3 up. They are buddys. Wherever one is the other 2 are right there. Anyways I know that the surgon won't go well in a coral tank so I dont know where to put them.
Oh the other tank is a 42gal hex.
Do you guys have any ideas for the tanks or ideas on the best way to start the reef tank. I have done a lot reading and research, but I hate putting money into something and having not work out because I rushed things.
Thanks for the help
