What kind of filtration would i need for a bioload like this

leo12345 · Jan 8, 2023

These are the fish i want in my 55 gallon aquarium

Clownfish
mandarin goby
Cardinal fish
Coral beauty
Yellow watchmen Goby
Maybe a Yellow tang
Flame angel
Royal Grammy
Flame Hawkfish
Fire goby

Cost and space aren’t a issue for me so any equipment i would need i can get, also i know some of these fish are territorial its just a list of fish i put together quickly so i more than likely wont get ones with territorial problems like the royal gramma and yellow tang.

Most of those fish are small and don’t eat enough to put a significant bio load on your system so I don’t think you would need anything special as far as filtration goes. The yellow tang however is definitely a no go in a 55 imo and the dwarf angels I would pick one or the other as they can get aggressive. You may get lucky if introduced at the same time but it’s a small tank and you’ll likely run into issues.

I already have both angels and there doing good
