marks nano build.... starting over(livestock suggestions?)

day four, getting some money probably ordering my par30 from boostled soon, if ig et enough i might get the clamp as well. or the package??hmm

 

I thought u said you were trading that guy for a par30?

 

the deal fell through, im surprised it even got that far. haha

 

Hmm..

 

ok so once the tanks done cycling which i think its about there this is what i plan to add

possum wrasse
panda goby
5 snails
5 hermits
1 fire shrimp
emerald crab

small frags of:
superman montipora
watermelon montipora
birdsnest
miami chalice
misc. acros

and what do you guys think about any chalices? what are these guys care like?

 

Chalices aren't too bad IME. You just gotta start with a healthy one. Anyway, that possum is too small for your tank. I know the minimum tank size is 10 gallons, but they are still a freeswimming fish. Not perching like gobies. They need length and area to swim and your tank does not seem suited to this.

 

i think your talking of the possum wrasse, and i was told my several people including 29in10 that it would work out fine.

 

Okay, well good luck then! I have experience keeping these fish, we had one in a 5 gallon cube and one in a 20 gallon. The one in the five was reclusive, while the one in the 20 zipped around like a tang. I'm sure it can be done, just like I'm sure you could house a PBT in a 75. All I'm saying is, will that fish be happy, and if you put it in a 5 and it lives 6 months and dies, will it have lived longer in a 20? No one will know as there are too many variables unvolved, but hobbyists have found that on average free swimming fish prefer larger tanks. Would you put a sixline in this tank? I think the possums can be just as active. What you need for your tank are perching fish, or gobies, or no fish at all. I think to keep params stable for your SPS no fish would be advisable.

 

I would buy an eshoppes nano overflow and put a sump on the system.

 

Or just get some uni-seals.
