Hey guys! Wife and I are soon going to be converting our 125 freshwater setup to salt. We'll be combining our 75 and 40 breeder setups in one tank for the most part. Our 75 salt will be moving to freshwater.
I wanted to post our current stock list and see what you experts thought of compatibility.
We have had to separate a few fish already. Our stardcki damsel and starry blenny both relentlessly attack our yellow watchman goby. So the goby is currently in our qt system. The stardcki also attacks our Gold Assessor, which was moved as well.
With that said, we're likely rehoming the starry blenny. If the stardcki in the new bigger tank will leave the goby and assessor alone, we'd like to keep it, but I feel it will always harass those. So it's likely to go as well.
We also have 2 pair of clowns in which I'll likely have to get rid of a pair as I don't think they'll work together.
So the 125 would look like this:
3 skunk cleaner shrimp
1 fire shrimp
1 pistol shrimp
1 yellow watchman goby
1 white lined combtooth blenny
1 one spot foxface
Pair of Picasso clownfish
Pair of Blue Chromis
Pair of Banggai cardinals
1 gold assessor
1 royal gramma basslet
1 mccoskers flasher wrasse
1 multi-colored lubbocks fairy wrasse
1 melanurus wrasse
1 firefish
Does this seem okay? I was hoping with a bigger tank and a new scape the stardcki would be okay, but I don't want to run the risk of it going south and trying to catch it. The starry blenny also as I said will likely always be aggressive to the goby and the small white lined blenny.
How many 20lb bags of sand should we prepare for this tank? With the goby and pistol shrimp I figure we should have at least a 3" sand bed or so?
Lighting, we currently have 3 of the new Current USA R24 Leds on the 75, and 2 on the 40. Will 3 be enough on the 125, or should I add 1 or both from the 40? We'll be doing a mixed reef, but nothing too demanding.
Last, my wife really wants to add a powder blue tang. Would it be too big for the 125, especially with our other current stock?
Thanks everyone in advance!
