fish additions

Alright everyone, I’ll start by saying I believe I am maxed out. However I see some people listing what they have in their 100g reefs and I question myself. 72x24x24” tank, total volume is 220g Mixed reef, SPS, euphillyia, zoas, and 3 types of anemones. Everything is thriving, I even have a...

Hi all, So I’ve just ordered a 380.8 yesterday, my dream reef tank! I have an easy tank in terms of only keeping soft corals. Looking for some ideas or experience on people who have kept some angelfish in a softy dominated system and what was successful and what wasn’t, any good inputs on...

I currently have a purple tang, clownfish, mandarin and yellow watchman goby in a 100 gallon. I’m upgrading to a 5ft 130 gallon and would like to add more fish. Would of be best to add the new fish at the same time with my current fish? Would like to add a bristletooth as well. Planning to...

I’ve officially gotten to the point where the nutrient consumption in my system outweighs what is produced by the animals, so I’m thinking about finally adding one more medium sized fish to accommodate that. The tank is a 48x18x24 90g mixed reef with lots of rock and a roughly 4” deep sand bed...

I have a Mocha Storm clownfish that lost her mate a while ago and everytime I try to add a new clownfish into that tank she kills it or bullies it to hide in the rocks and gets food aggressive with them, I have tried all I can find about how to stop them doing that including the seperated in...

hey folks, I’m looking for some ideas on stocking for my 3 yr old 25g bare bottom mixed reef tank. I currently have 1 pair of clowns, over a year old and I did have a basslet until a few days ago, he got along well in the tank but unfortunately got himself wedged under a rock and passed. My...

Hi everyone. This is my very first post. I have had my tank running since March 2025.

Hi All, I need some advice. I am looking for some more additions that would be beneficial + add to my color assortments. (Because I mostly have purple, Blue, yellow) I upgraded my tank from a Marineland 90 gallon to a AGA 125 Gallon (FOWLR) Reused almost all of the old rock and put the old...

Has anyone ever seen a Lophodiodon Calori for sale anywhere? Also known as a Violet Porcupinefish or Fourbar Porcupinefish I’ve been looking for one particularly but unable to find any. They’re not endemic to Australia like the threebar but are known to be uncommon in the fish market...

I got a great deal on a used 180 gallon waterbox, with everything needed. I was looking at a 125, but this is cheaper and has all the equipment including 3 radeon g5’s. Of course, I jumped on the deal and the tank is arriving on the 7th. I don’t know the exact model but it’s a 5 ft tank, the...

I am trying to add a new fish or a pair of fish to my 140 gallon dt. Currently there are 2 clowns and a tang gang( 4 tang). I have seen some really colorful wrasses and was looking for peoples thoughts on reef safe, active and hopefully brightly colored wrasse. Would love to hear your thoughts...

Hi Reefers! I’m currently running a 60-liter (about 16-gallon) nano reef tank and I already have a pair of clownfish that are doing great. The tank is stable, stocked with soft corals, and has good flow and filtration. I’m thinking about adding a third fish and would love some suggestions...

i have a 30-32g tank with mixed corals and 2 clowns and some inverts. due to the fact that i'll be moving within the year, i've decided to not upgrade till after which means sometimes i get bored looking at the same things everyday. what's your most favorite thing in your tank? could be fish...

As I (im)patiently await the arrival of my 180g aquarium, I have done some research and created a list of fish that I would like to have. I will not end up with all of the following, but this will give you an idea of where my head is at: Purple Tang Yellow Tang Hippo Tang Magnificent Foxface...

Hello, Ordering my 2nd batch of QT'd fish and wanted to just get some ideas. 55 gallon Display mixed reef I currently have - 3 ocellaris clowns (will probably give the oddman out away but everyone is friendly so far) - watchman goby pistol shrimp - peppermint shrimp - standard cuc Tailspot...

So I am planning a 5 gallon tank, with macroalgae, soft coral, and some sexy shrimp, and think a central fish might be cool. I checked the lfs and they don't have anything smaller than a two-spot blenny. Can I keep one, or should I look for even smaller fish?

Good morning everyone! I have been having my tank for 5 years, but due to some algae problems abd being abroad for longer time i didnt get to dive that deep in. Finally got to catch up on corals a bit and id like to get some more fish, but im unsure which ones. Its a 425l red sea, so total...

So I have a pretty well established tank and I currently have 2 pajama cardinals 1 diamond back goby and a pair of clowns but I recently noticed some flat worms on a torch and wanted to see what would be a good wrasse to get or am I pushing it on livestock?

Honestly when I started my hobby with saltwater fish I just guessed the whole way through it. My tank was only 13 gallons, and it was a whole entire ecosystem. I had to only do water changes once a month and it was thriving. Now, I'm basically starting over, i kind of messed up in a sense. I...

Curious what others think I should stock my Innovative Marine 100g tank with. Planning to keep corals, mainly softies and LPS. I read another user calculated that with sand and rocks, leaves about 85g in the display tank. Unsure how true or accurate this is. You can see my build thread for how...
