Need yalls help with something..

[littlefoxx]

So I want to start my nano up again I think, possibly move it to my office (unsure yet).

The tank is an IM 15. Here are the combos Im considering:

1) nem tank with a pair of clownfish for a traditional tank

2) a pair of firefish with zoas

3) pair of cardnials with zoas or torches

4) clowns with a BTA and rock flowers

5) rock flower nems with anemone shrimp (unsure about fish, probably would do clowns)

6) softies with a colorful damsel (princess or talbots) and a goby or tailspot blenny

I am more leaning towards clowns, I have tomatos in my 300 and miss the traditional clowns but the other fish are super cool as well. If I did clowns I would either do a fancy pair of the long fins, or a more traditional pair.

Or any other ideas, I dont really want to mix corals (like having LPS and softies and stuff).

Just wondering what everyone thinks!

I like the firefish with zoas personally.

Number 4, but I’m bias.

I would go with #6. There are tons of interesting softies that will allow you to continue to do coral shopping which is part of what makes this hobby so fun. Softies are hardy and you can actually watch them grow, seeing coral grow keeps your tank interesting. The fish doesnt have to be a damsel, it could also be a pair of clowns.

Yeah they are super cool! I want to have them host the nem. I really want to do that but I wasnt too sure if I could keep the nem

I have some rock in my sump cooking to help seed the tank and cycle it
