First fish

dtracy1119 · Aug 14, 2018

I'm new to the saltwater reef systems and I have a 65g with live rock and about 70 lbs of fine aragonite. Not sand but it's the kind that can be used in African cichlid tanks and lighting is a beams work 120 .5 watt per led. PH is 8.2 calcium 400 KH 6°dkh. What would be the best starter fish for my tank?

My first suggestion is go to live aquaria research fish. Post your sticking list here . we can help from there . its your tank let's make it the way you want it.

Great! I'd suggest doing the research, visiting a few lfs's if possible and putting together a list of reef safe fish that would do well in your size tank. Live Aquaria is a good for the research. Generally you put in the most aggressive last. Post the list and get some feedback here. Take your time. Not too much at once. Clowns and some of the reef safe wrasses would be on my list. It is very personal what you want though.
