I have an 80g 5foot open top tank that I have been working on for the last six months. It currently is stocked with:
2 yellowtail damsels
2 percs
1 keyhole angel(9cm)
1 juvenile Niger Trigger (maybe 5cm)
I had two bluespot blennys but they kamakazied last week.
Do I have the space to add a small tang? I am only planning on keeping the niger for a few years until it is too big for 5 foot. Id, like to add a little bristle tooth or similar my keyhole and my niger are both super timid and not fighty so should allow a newcomer to find a nice home patch.
What do you guys think of stocking level?
I have a great sandbed CUC - 2 red strombs, 1 Vitaltis Stromb, 1 sand sifting starfish and a Fromia who can not decide if he likes rocks, sand or glass more. Ironicly the fromia cleans my sand faster than the sand sifter. got some nassarius snails too but I never see them so I am unsure on quatity
rocks are cleaned by a mix of a dozen miniature hermit crabs and a similar number of turbos.
I do have a substantial amount of algae growing on my back glass and a couple of my rocks that the angel never gets through so I thought a grazing vegetarian would be a nice fish addition.
NOSUMP (Cannister filter with about 15lbs of ceramic balls of varying sizes.)
tank circulation is about 2500 gallons per hour
25kg of live rock
three euphylia, one goni(encrusting 14cm base), one hellio(15cm skeleton 25cm extended) and an assortment of softies.
