Hello everyone,
I finally upgraded from a 15 gallon to a 40 gallon breeder with a sump and wanted to share my build, as well as ask for stocking advice. I’m proud to say I’ve managed to hide all of the plumbing and power heads in the rock work. And by using water level sensors in the sump to control the return pump, I am able to balance the flow to and from the display tank with out using an overflow. But, I still have a lot left to do including, setting up the protein skimmer, adding a ATO system, getting better lights, and most importantly stocking the tank.
I have a few ideas but I’d love some feedback as my scape is fairly minimal and I’m not sure how many fish territories it can support. How many fish do you think I can comfortably get? 4-5?
-Clarki Clown (first resident)
-Royal Gramma
-Talbots Damsel
-Cherub Angelfish
I have a feeling this is going to be shot down quickly and I feel bad even suggesting it, but the kole eye tang only grows to 5.9 inches (15cm) according to fish base. Would it be happy in a 40 gallon? https://www.fishbase.se/Summary/SpeciesSummary.php?id=6015&lang=italian
I’m open to any other suggestions, too.
Thanks!
