Currently cycling my first aquarium, a 10 gallon HOB setup.
Equipment:
AI Prime 16HD
Aquaclear 30 with sponge, carbon and biorocks
Eheim Jager 50w heater
Hydor Koralia 240gph powerhead
10lbs Caribsea Dry Liferock
10lbs Caribsea live sand
I understand that a small tank isn't optimal for a beginner but I have a small apartment, one day I'd definitely like to upgrade. In the meantime I'm planning on doing 25% water changes weekly.
Anyway, I'm making this post to ask for advice regarding stocking the tank once it's done cycling.
Originally I wanted to do an occelaris clown pair and Yellow watchman with a pistol shrimp, but I've been getting varying feedback. Some people say that it will be overcrowded, other people say that it will be fine so long as I keep an eye on the parameters and keep up with regular water changes.
I don't plan on adding them all at once, most likely I would add the clowns first, then later on the goby and shrimp if everything was going well.
Do you think it would be alright as long as I am deligent?
