Hi;
I have just set up my new Red Sea reefer 525l; I’m not a complete newbie but it’s been over 10 years since I have had a marine tank.
I have used live sand and I’m planning on using Dr Tims with ammonia to cycle the tank.
I am just wondering about recommendations for a first fish once it’s cycled; I don’t really want to throw something in the tank that’s not in my long term plan and it seems that most of the fish I want are semi aggresive - my first thought was a yellow watchman goby but also thought something that will eat algae like a foxface would be a really good choice;
I’m just concerned if I reach the end of my cycle and haven’t quarantined anything then my cycle could kinda stall as there’s nothing feeding the bacteria - unless I keep dosing ammonia…
have u got any recommendations?
Also with regards to tomato clownfish; what are your experiences? I used to have some that were never aggresive but everybody I have spoken to recently seems to think that they are! Can u reckoned any other clownfish species that aren’t AS aggresive as tomato’s but not Percula/oscellaris - allards? Clarkii?
