hey guys i got a question

if i were to add fish what fish would be good in this SPS reef tank with a clam?
i kind of want something that will benefit the tank.
I really like the Sixline Wrasse

Or
The Yellow Stripe Clingfish

Six line would be good, a clown, or royal gramma

well the tank is kinda small for the sixline but you can give it a shot. also a royal gramma will look nive but its a hiding fish at first. maybe a black and white clown will do great

IMO you should lower the MH by at least 6 inches, so it would be 6 inches away from the water surface. On fish, if it were my tank, I'd get: A pair of clowns, some sort of shrimp goby with a pistol shrimp, and a cleaner shrimp.
ouch!!!
thanks for the info.

THANKS
I spent $55.00 on these guys which i think is a steal

what do you guys think of the new additions?
should i remove them from the plugs? and glue them to some LR or will the grow from the plugs? if i do remove them how should i go about doing it and what equipment do i need? all help or suggestions are welcomed thanks in advance

Yes I agree frag plugs are rather unattractive. I'm scared to take certain things off them though, although when i got my green slimer i accidentally knocked it off the frag plug, so i glued it on a piece of rubble. But i've got to epoxy everything down so it doesnt get knocked over by the hermits. Yours look like they are wedged in very well though!
