I am considering stocking a 12 gallon tank with a Goby and Pistol Shrimp pair, (Wheeler's Shrimp Goby or a similar Goby and Randall's Pistol Shrimp), Tail Spot Blenny, and a Clown Gobby. Is this overstocking? If so, what should I remove? Some people say on other threads that this is good, but...

I suppose "large" depends on what you're use to. I'm just wondering if anyone has specific examples of or experience with tanks dedicated to tiny creatures? Rather than being stocked around minimum sizes, or a mixture of large and small. The closest I've seen are clownfish harems. Half a dozen...

Need advise on what my stocking options are for a 22 gallon long. Plan to do soft coral down the road. Thank you for any input! The tank dimensions are 36 inches long 11.9 wide and 11.9 tall.

Have a 15 gallon Waterbox cycling and was thinking about what would be interesting to add. Currently have around 8 pounds of dry rock and 2 pounds of live rock, as well as 10 pounds of live sand. I will eventually be adding corals. Anyone have any suggestions for both corals and or fish. This...

Hi all, was looking for some different suggestions of fish and unique invertebrates to add to my research list/cart. Right now my tank is a very stable 8 months old and I just haven't had the extra money to shell out to get fish because of unfortunate personal events but I'm finally able to...

hello! i have a 75g macroalgae display tank only a few fish currently a couple damsels, mcosker wrasse, clown, and diamond goby im looking for a larger fish to add that wont destroy macro or soft corals, any suggestions appreciated, thanks.

Hi everyone, I’m planning to get a new tank instead of my Waterbox 35.1 AIO. The reason is that it’s never really taken off and I need some more stability as due to my job it can be hard to follow the tank. So basically I’d like a bigger tank to allow it to go on autopilot once in a while. For...

I currently have 2 clowns oscellaris (one da Vinci and one flurry), melunarus wrasse, royal gramma, Midas blenny, flame angel. It is a mixed reef. I have a roller mat refugium and protien skimmer in the sump and total water volume is somewhere around 70-71 after rock sand and equipment. My...

Looking for some ideas!! I have a 30 gallon reef aquarium that crashed a few months ago, lost everything except 2 clowns that I have since moved to another tank. The tank is much better and I am now considering stocking it again, but I want to do a species specific tank. Any Suggestions??

I don't have experience with saltwater fish but have had that 65 for a about 7 years as a freshwater tank so I'm not entirely new. I'd want to have corals so they'd need to be reef safe. I don't want clown fish either because they can get aggressive but mainly because I see them everywhere and...
