My 30g Acrylic

[Megaloptera]

I had this little tank set up at my former work to hold freshly mixed saltwater and axt as a quarantine tank when needed. I have a new job and move this little gem home. It has been well established for months with rock from other tanks and live sand. This tanks has also had pods, snails, and hermit crabs in there for months. I'm excited to say I purchased my first inhabitants: an orchid dottyback, six-lined wrasse, and a banded coral shrimp.

Dwarf hermit crabs collected from our bay (NWFL)

I'm going slow with this tank. Eventually it will become a softy reef. I'd love some more color in there as far as fish are concerned. Let me know what one or two fish you would add.

Nice! Next comes the coral. What are your plans?

I first want one or two more fish. Still deciding on what I want. I need to also decide on a light. It will be a bar style LED. I am a sucker for anemones so I may get some rock flowers. I'll get a couple leathers for sure a green cabbage.

With all those holes I’d get two barnacle blennies lol love the tank set up!

 

[Megaloptera]

Good idea. I'll look into those.

Can't wait to see all that gets added to the tank!

I've caught Molly miller blennies and had them in tanks. They aren't colorful enough for this tank though. I may be able to collect a tesselated blenny and try it.

Update: the banded coral shrimp took out my two fish. The shrimp was rehomed. I now have a clown, an azure damsel, and a Midas blenny.
I also grabbed a nicrew led light.

Plans: increase the clean up crew

Help me out. What would be the best fish addition if I were to get one more? Or two?
