i am indecisive about fish stocking, order of them and timing, and will the fish be a good idea.
I plan on getting some sterilized chaeto and some copepods to live in my sump refugium when my tank is ready for them.
I know this might be to many fish but I was assuming you would tell me to stay away from some of them so I wanted to add as many to the list I could think of. Feel free to make suggestions or substitutions. I want to make this a fun colorful group of fish that look cool or have a good personality to watch.
The tank was started on the 13th and is testing almost zero for no2 and no3. Ph is 8.3, ammonia is 1.25, salinity 1.024, temp 78
