yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sorry to hear about the frags. well atleast your buying fish! what fish do you plan to get?
today im going to pick up
1 peppermint shrimp
1 clownfish Ocellaris (nobody has misbars, true percula, picassos or black clowns in my area
)
1 blue/green chromis (i've had a few in my 45gal before they're not bad)
i wanted a yellow watchman goby or purple firefish, but i heard that they can jump out of the tank and i have no lid

i also wanted a sixline or royal gramma but i heard they are pretty mean in smaller tanks picking on other fishes and you CUC

i want a hectors goby but they will be later down the road.

THANKS !!! THAT TRUE I DO HAVE SPS LOL

its always recommend that you acclimate for a longer period of time you when you add the fish in they are fully adapted to your water and wont go into shock ect. but i usually wait a good 45min to an hour
