what should i do?

yeah well i meant the price cap for the tank, and equpment. the coral is a whole different sum of money. haha

 

You're still underbudget, better than overbudget. You could buy 2 setups for that budget.

 

haha thats what i was thinking, just for more coral tho. what would you suggest i put in there. could i put any fish? like a clown goby or two?

 

I would personally do only inverts, just to try something new. Clown gobies will rip the skin off of SPS so it really is one or the other. I would either do some porcelain and acro crabs and sexy shrimp (maybe?) or 2-3 panda gobies. Court Jester gobies OR a Trimma goby would work.

 

o ya i forgot the cute little panda gobies, ill definately get at least one of those. with other inverts would a pom pom crab be safe?

 

What other inverts?

 

i was thinking well an acro crab maybe a porcelain crab, a couple sexy shrimp...

 

Hey bvb-etf-luva, check out this youtube video:

The guy explains how he mods his fluval edge for a little reef tank!

 

Hmm....you have to remember this tank is about a little more than a dollar bill wide, so stocked with coral, not much room for inverts. I think pompoms like to move around too much, maybe try a spotted porcelain crab and bongo shrimp. Or the panda gobies or trimma gobies and the sexy shrimp (they may pick at zoas remember).
It would be cool to keep a pair of these, unlike the regular harlequins they don't need starfish:

What about doing some rics near the bottom of the tank with a group of Perclimes anemone shrimp as a species tank?

 

thanks alot haloist! this makes me want to do a fluval even more. i just love the way they look. also i see how they life is concentrated more in the middle as the light doesnt reach the edges very well. are those just normal par30 bulbs?
