Hi everyone I have a 55 gallon saltwater fish tank and I’m looking for some stocking ideas. I currently have a single clownfish in the tank. If y’all could also give me some good websites to look at for stocking that would be great (all my local fish stores do not take care of their fish). Thank...
I’m on the tail end of equipment building, I have begun compiling a livestock list. The total volume is 230 but I know I can’t include that for livestock so after the sump volume I have 190 gallons to play with (so I’m using a 1 inch per 3 gallon rule). This list is also excluding the clean up...

I'm posting this to hopefully gain some insights from you guys and gals, because there are so many differing opinions on these fish and their appropriate minimum tank size.

So I’ve finally have been able to get my dream 150 gallon tank! But she’s a bit of a project so as much as I want to fill it up right away I have some things to do first . It’s already drilled, has over flow, came with a sump, ato water tank, and what I was told are two “China box lights”. I...

I currently have a 32g fluval flex that at the moment is my only saltwater tank. I've had the one saltwater tank for a little over two years now and multiple planted freshwater tanks for about 10 years.
After quite a lot of discussion with the family we have decided to convert or upgrade the...
Hi all -
So my current tank is a 46 gallon bowfront (take a look by clicking on my build thread badge!), and I’ll be upgrading soon to an 80 gallon 48” long x 24” wide x 16” tall tank. My plan is to have it aquascaped a little more open than my current tank so there is more open swimming room...

I’m in the process of setting up a new tank, it’s a 150 gallon (60”x24”x24”) with a 40 gallon sump. I’ve been getting a live stock list going and was wondering what the best order to add the fish would be, besides clowns first. I should add both the tangs at once to curve aggression correct...
Hey guys. I'm finishing up my cycle for my mixed reef tank. I have a 25 gallon tank that I plan to stock with lots of macro algae, soft corals, and LPS.

Hello all,
I am nearing completion on my fully DIY 150gallon reef tank. The tank that I made is 60”x24”x24” and has a 50gallon sump. I am using about 2” of sand, as well as some NSA rock sculptures I made (about 120lbs of rock). The sump will contain an 11”x11”x11” chaeto refugium, 4L+ of...
Hey guys. I’m currently cycling rock for my 25 gallon AIO. I wont be buying any fish until June, at which point I will quarantine them for a month. So the fish probably won’t make it into the display tank for 2-3 months yet.
Would this stocking list be a compatible grouping?
- 2 Clownfish
- 1...
Just curious to any thoughts on my stock list for my new 160g tank. Tank dimensions are 60x26x26 and will have plenty of hiding places with the negative space bonsai approach that I'm taking with the aquascape. I plan on stocking over the course of 4 months and will be stocking the tank with...
