Species only tank what should i get?

[reef_dart21]

the website helps alot

thank you!!!
i already have a 55 reef so if i wanna go faster i can just use that water....now a question
how much live rock they need? do they have to have live sand? what is their life spane? what do u mean about a net breeder? wont they eat frozen mysis?
will the cuttle eat freshwater ghost shrimp alive? (i can acclimate them) are they omnivores or carnivores?
and for my last question..............how long does a egg take to hatch?

Its not the water that is important part of an established tank . its the sand and live rock thats important .

 

[reef_dart21]

if you go to my second thread "having second thoughts" im thinking that a cuttle fish may be to complicated for somone of my expeirience

 

[texasmetal]

That sounds like a very responsible conclusion.

A mantis tank sounds like fun too .

not true. There has been very few documented situations of a mantis breaking glass. That is a common "fact" that is often stretched.

i found out no but that would be kool but you need a huge tank

 

[ci11337]

not aggressive at all but a little seahorse herd is my vote. Heres mine

Im in the process of finding a frogfish. I would look into them if I was you!
there are little guys that only get 4"
they come in all diff. colors too. Just dont get one of the large species.
I think they are sooo cute and comical! Mines going in my 24g AP. You can usually get them when they are about 2"
Just figured I'd post my 2cents

Jess
check them out

 

[crashbandicoot]

Deffinatly on my list of fish to have. But right now the mantis tank is top of the list and then stocking the 75 .

in all honesty though, there are a few damsels that i would consider the most beautiful fish available.

But then your not really talking about the 4/20 death co damsels . I would love to have a gerabaldi (sp) but the price and requierments keep me from it .
