Alrighty! last time i posted here was maybe 3 months ago. Since then, Ive been researching a lot about saltwater tanks. Too much actually, to the point where i spend more time learning about SW tanks than studying xd
Now, im still set on FOWLR*, but Ive upgraded from a 11.5 gal to a 15 gal.
Fishwise, Im gonna be getting a powder brown tang, a regal tang, a scopas tang, a pair of maroon clowns and a pair of tomato clowns
just kidding lol!
Im going with a black and white ocellaris and a mocha clown. If i cant find these, its gonna be a simple percula pair or an occy pair. Then a shrimp goby (PLEASE SUGGEST A GOOD GOBY, I want something unique thats not too expensive, if there are no gobies that fit these standards, YWG it is) pair. At first i wanted to do a banggai, clown and goby tank but then learnt from my dad that banggais need atleast 30 gallons (he used to have a reef). The 15 gal is most prolly (98% sure) not a permanent home. I will be upgrading once they become big. For the CUC, Im going with 4 trochus snails and 1 blue legged hermit (extra shells will be provided for him, and more about this specific animal later).
Im going with standard lights from a FW planted nano. Theyre LED but i dont know the brand or name of said lights.
Getting a refractometer, API's master test kit, live sand, rocks* and a HOB filter. (dad said a 15 gal doesnt need a protein skimmer, but i wanted to confirm here. Is this true?)
so after all this are there any extra tips you guys can give me? What to do for the early ugly stages etc? any general tips i might not have come across?
HUGE QUESTIONS I HAVE
Now, about the crab and the rock. Where i live, live rock is banned/prohibited for environmental reasons.... Now how can i get standard rock to become live rock in my tank? This is a huge question i have. If i cant have live rock, does that mean i cant have a SW tank?
Next thing, i want tips to keep ze blue crab alive for as long as possible, since im only getting one, chances are I'll end up naming and getting attached to him/her lol. (help with this too)
My last question for now is, can i have 1xSpringeri damsel, 1xClown (occy or perc) and 1xGoby? If i cant have this setup, itll be 1xGoby, 2xClowns
Thats it for now and thank you all in advance!
