so i know that my size limits me on my fish and possible coral but here is my thread. lets get into information that is going to help you guys give me some advice.
Tank 29g
Water Params
trate-0
trite-0
ammonia-0
sg-.023
water was test by LFS today and they told me i have very clean and good water.
around 30lbs live rock and 25lbs live sand
flow rate ~700
temp 76
lights T5 4 blub
tank up for around 45 days finished its cycle at ~day 20
So now that the boring stuff is out of the way lets get on with the good stuff.
Current stock list(introduced 5 days after the end of the cycle at day 25)
-Peppermint Shrimp x2
-Blood/fire Shrimp x1
-Ocellaris Clownfish x2
10 days later
-Blue Spot Jawfish x1 (jumped out after 2 days dead)
2 days later(if you haven't been counting that's day 37)
-Potters dwarf AngleFish(died today at day 45, randomly, im so sad :cry
-No coral.
So now that we have all that established, i guess here comes the reason for the thread.
i would like coral that is fairly easy to maintain(I do realize that coral is not easy by any means to take care of but im sure some are easier than others?) and still looks spectacular. On that note i got the clown fish so that i could get an anemone for them to host on, right now it appears they are hosting to my mag float..... i have looked at bubble tips, but is there another species?
Okay, so coral, anemones..and now for fish!
(i realize that this is a reef fish forum and i just spent the better part of the thread talking about corals....sorry :/)
SO!
as you already read i have lost two fish so far. A potters angle and a BSJ. i know the BSJ was because he jumped. i need to get a better cover. but the potters was weird he would eat, but very little but still looked really healthy. strange.
so for the new stocking, i would like to have fish that are peaceful, do well with corals, and are hardy (i would like to not loose anymore fish). i am Okay with bottom-goers, but would prefer more active fish.
thank you all for you're help, and please remember i am a newbie to the hobby and to this forum so keep that in mind when you post!
