Yo may have seen my last thread ("40g Stocking Ideas? Eel??") where I said I may be upgrading my tank for Christmas. I went to my LFS today with my family and my mom said that the 70g they had looked really nice, and they had 2 tangs in it, a yellow and a purple tang if I'm not mistaken, along with some adult clowns and some other smaller damsels and lots of nice corals. It seems like my parents sort of approve of the 70g, so I'm gonna try and get that, but I need some stocking ideas.
On one hand, I would like to have a tang or two in the tank, i believe they make any tank look really nice. Plus I could add some other fish species.
One another hand, I really like the idea of having an eel and maybe a dwarf lionfish. Would that work in a 70g?
OR: could I go with the tang(s) in the 70g, and add a snowflake eel?
I would be buying it tank and stand, a cabinet stand so I can put my supplies and hardware down there. Could someone maybe instruct me on the more complex types of filtration you see in bigger tanks? Because on my 20g i have an HOB power filter and I'm not very knowledged on the skimmers and sumps and such. What do they all do exactly?
So hopefully you have some great knowledge to share #reefsquad , feel absolutely free to leave any suggestions for cool 70g fish.
