Dustin's 75 Build

Thank you!

 

Now that the new tank is up it's time to start thinking about adding a few more fish. Besides my coral the only resident in the 75 is a starry blenny, so I have a lot of options to choose from. So far this is what I'm thinking about:

1 Fairy or Flasher Wrasse
2 or 3 Cardinals
Maybe a pair of Orange Skunk Clowns

If you have any suggestions let me know

 

broken record here but I love my flamehawk. what about goby/pistol pair?

 

Thanks for the reply OFK
I really like flame hawks, but I don't know if there would be any conflict between it and my blenny. It's funny that you mentioned the goby/pistol pair. I was looking at them the other day, but my wife doesn't like shrimp. I think they freak her out a little, but she won't admit it.

 

I came home to find my blenny stuck in my overflow box so I used some leftover screen from my screen tops to make this



I got the idea from Av8Bluewater in the thread about keeping the pistol shrimp out the overflow. I'm going to let the silicon dry and then trim off the extra screen. I figured if it didn't work than it would be easy to remove.

 

one thing about pistols is that they don't come out a lot.....your wife wouldn't see it very much I'm not sure about the flame with a blenny. I've only kept two hawkfish and both were/are pretty tame and didn't/don't show aggression toward any tank mates.

 

I picked up some mew additions for the tank yesterday;D

My wife was wanting a bi-color pseudochromis but I talked her into the Royal Gramma instead



We also got three Spotted Cardinals





I think I got a pretty good deal on these zoas. I paid $15 for 10 heads. Now they need to open so I can get a positive id on them.



We're gonna let things settle for a while before we pick up any new fish, but I think the next addition is going to be a McCosker's Wrasse, and then maybe a couple of Orange Skunk Clowns.

 

Great fish choices.

Royal grammas are under rated as are skunk clowns. Did you know that skunk clowns are know to chirp and click at each other, it's pretty cool.

 

congrats on the new additions! I did not know that about skunk clowns always learning in this hobby!

 

Thank you!
I think I want the clowns even more now.

Thanks OFK!
