Hey,
I was thinking of adding mollies as my first fish to my future 120 gallon mixed reef tank. I will set it up by the beginning of next year. I'm asking now as I want to do my proper research before getting any livestock. I have experience with fresh water and whenever something dies I take it personally. I wanted to add mollies, as they are hardy, cheap and widely available. I heard that they can live in saltwater and so I was thinking about how long should I take and drip acclimate them before adding them to the tank. I also need to know how many drops of water per second should I use for these fish. Another reasons for getting them is because they peck at algae and bio films, so that's a plus point. And if they don't, it doesn't matter as that's not the main purpose of getting them. I will get them just to stabilize the tank before adding more fish.
