Hi, I am new to the saltwater world and have an innovative marine 25 lagoon. Once filled with sand and rock it is looking around 17-18 gallons. Starting the cycle today but thinking about what to stock it with.
For filters I have a protein skimmer, will get a chaeto refugium setup after cycle, and in the caddy’s will have filter floss, chemi-pure blue, seachem purigen, seachem matrix.
So for stocking was thinking adding a firefish first, tailspot blenny acouple weeks after then a clown acouple weeks after.
For cleanup crew was going to 5 nassarius, 4 trochus snails and a cleaner shrimp.
What do you guys think?
