well i cycled my first tank with 2 false percs and they did just fine. if i did it all over again i wouldn't use fish but i was naive and didn't know better. some tank specs would be nice as well. just make sure you add a fish that you WANT! many people uses damsels and don't want them anymore bc they are soooo mean sometimes and then you have to break down your live rock just to catch the little buggers!! hth.

start xenia, either pom pom or pulsing, others will reject the idea because they breed like rabbits but they are next to impossible to kill , but i would buy a small one and just one. If you were closer id give you a frag of mine. | |

My Chromis was an issue with my Cinnamon Clown as the Chromis was there first.. Within a day or two they both distinguished there territories..
You can always just move a rock or two if the Chromis does act up.
I do like him.. in the actinics he glimmers between blue and green.. fun to watch..! | |

chromis need fed to often for my taste.the blue ones are more agressive than the green.i've had the least luck with them out of all fish.

I got beat! This morning when I was checking out my tank I noticed a tiny tiny little snail on the glass! I was so excited haha. So my first little tank mate was already in there. I'm think in going to put a couple of clowns in there to start off with a nice little cleaning crew. Would it be too early to get an anemone? Maybe a bubble tip? | |
