Hello all,
I have got my 32g setup done and cycled. picture of it setup attached. I ended up spending more than originally budgeted for which is fine, but I like the aesthetic.
I am planning to stock as follows and wanted to know if adding the fish in pairs is a good idea instead of adding all at once. Like adding two clowns later adding gramma and fire fish and later flame and goby. Does that sound like a good rule of thumb so no ammonia explosions happen? Any specific times you guys would add like how long after the first clowns are added? and am I at my stock limit with the fish I want to add?
This will be a reef tank later on I'm waiting to add coral and anemones. I'm using IO reef crystals.
I do plan to Quarantine the fish.
I have been running the lights for a week now during cycling they were off. I'm running them now so CUC has some food to eat. Is that a good idea? Do I need to Quarantine the CUC at all?
My next question is I want opinions on hermits and emerald crab. I'm worried they might kill some of the snails or harm fish. Are hermits/emerald worth to have at all?
Are there any other CUC am I missing that will be a good addition?
Stock list
pair of clowns
royal gramma
firefish
flamehawk
goby
Trochus Snails
Cerith Snails
