Okay, I have a new plan. Here's my set up:
55 gal
wetdry ( soon to be sumpfuge)
Aqua c remora w maxijet 1200
80# LR 70# LS
Coralife light--2-65w 10k and 2-65w actinics
I cleanup crew from this site-30-90 size as belw:
Scarlet Hermit Crab: 20
Blueleg Hermit Crab: 20
Turbo/Astrea Snail: 20
Nasssarius Snail: 10
Emerald Crab: 3
Coral Banded Shrimp: 1
Feather Duster: 2
Tanks is fully cycled
sg-1.026
ammonia 0
Nitrites 0
Nitrates ~10
PH 8.2
Temp 78-80
I am going on vacation next weekend for 2 weeks and will start stocking the tank when I get back. I am thinking about the following:
1 flame angel
1 bi-color blenny
1 diamond goby
2 perc's
That should be about max for the tank, right? Anybody see any problems or have other suggestions? The only absolutes are the 2 perc's. Kid's
, what else can I say?
Thanks for the help
Ed

What, I can't just throw them in there like my fw fish?

Just kidding
:joy: , I know to go slow. By the time I put the first fish in the tank will be 7 weeks old. Any particular order I should go with?

Thanks Teresa. I figure this is a good start. I can always get other fish as I go forward. I've only been doing the SW for a month and I'm already stareting to think of the next one (maybe a 180?
)

True...benefits of the Air Force is I can cross-train into anything I want. So I don't have to get bored with one thing too long.

That helps. I work one of the cable finance channels. You would think it would be a cool place to work, but I get bored out of my mind.
