Alright I’m talking with a friend about stocking right now he brought up someone I know’s tank and I’m going to replicate it. I’m going to let what comes on my live rock I buy grow out and also I’m going to get things like xenia gorgs and macdo algae. I’m not trying to make like a marine planted tank or anything, I’m trying to replicate a habitat of small reef fish like gobies ans blenines. my freind said I should just be concerned about aggression and not bioload And If Id make a lot of hiding places I could make a nice tank. I’m planning on making 1 side of the tank have mostly macros and gorgs and things then the other side have like sponges Xenia’s fans and other soft corals. For stocking I’m not super shure yet but I want lots of biodiversity. I’m really eyeing bicintus clowns and skunks are kinda cool too. Any fish with a similar shape and proportion to clarkii is on my wishlist. I like the beady eyes and the big mouth on fish like clarkii and wasp fish. I’m thinking I want a perchlet and probably clingfish for sure. I might not do clowns but idk. I’m gonna keep it simple and just dose nilocg ans a bit of calcium if needed then use fine crushed coral for the benefits of microfauna. I’m going to use 25 lb salty bottom specialty rock, recommended by my friend and I’m gonna use my Hob and a powerhead as main filtration. Lighting will be floodlights or kessil 24w bulbs depending on what’s available at the time. I Will update as the situation changes.
