I finally decided to jump into the saltwater world. People told me not too because it was expensive and I had family members tell me horror stories but I decided to spend weeks researching and also take time to build some patience. And voila! I started up my first tank. Bought this jbj 24 off of someone on craigslist. Gave her an ro bath and filled her up. Put some ls and dry lr with fritz bacteria. I have been ghost feeding but I started feeding more today and yesterday cause my nitrite hadn't shown up at all even with the tank cycling for a week. I am hoping to keep mainly softies, and probably some torch and hammer lps. If I can get my light right with flow I will possibly add sps but I am going to add corals very slow because my goal is to never dose the tank. I just want to replenish nutrients from water changes and i want to feed mainly pellets a couple times a week, with a once a week micro food that will dirty the tank before a water change. (Lots of thought) I want to keep 2 clowns, a goby, and possibly a firefish and or a royal gramma. I was hoping someone could let me know if that sounds like over stocking I want to keep the bioload very manageable. Of course cuc and shrimp will be added but I am curious if i can mix clownfish breeeds and if they'll still pair. i'd love a black ocellaris and a gladiator but i want them to pair together and if they have no chance i'll stick to one species. I built a homemade gravity ato but I know I will add a 10g sump in the future with a proper ato. I will use this as my starter and tester tank and hopefully it will become my qt for a larger display down the line! I am so excited and I would love any input on good beginner corals. I will continue to update the tank as time goes on.
