Could probably go up to 10,000 litres if i'm using seawater from the ocean and not buying synthetic salt, would this be too small for a horn/carpet shark and or longtail skate long term?

Sorry, this isn't to do with the original topic of the thread but do you know if there are any rays/skates and sharks that are keepable in home aquaria here? My max tank size would probably be around 2200 litres if that isn't too small and what would you feed them? Thanks

Yeah, I read up on the dardanus hermit crabs, apparently they are all very aggressive and eat fish and aren't really very good at cleaning up

Changed it a bit as mado only eat live food, also dimensions are 200x120x60cm 1 Common Leatherjacket 1 Red Gurnard 3-5 Sweep 1 Spotty Maybe blue maomao, porcupine fish

Hi, can anyone add/comment on my stocking list for a 200x120x40cm aquarium (I could go higher but im trying to make it a shallow thing) 1 Leatherjacket - Definitely want Blue Maomao - Optional Red Mullet Goatfish - Optional 1 Red Gurnard - Definitely want New Zealand Demoiselle - Optional 3 Mado - Definitely want Red Banded Perch - optional Paketi - optional Sweep - optional Everything except for the gurnard, mado and leatherjacket is open to suggestions/change and im not sure of group sizes so any suggestions would be appreciated. (this list is too large for the aquarium size so im looking for help reducing this list) Also where can I collect saltwater/sand within auckland region? Thanks

Yeah ive looked at the mpi lists - but do you know anything about the anenome hermit crabs?

Hi, this is my first post on here but I have been lurking for a while. Does anyone know any cuc/clean up crew that we are allowed here in nz/ can collect for reef tanks that eat algae apart from the turbo snail? I know we can have the longspine urchin but im reluctant because of their sting - my tank is 130x68x35cm. Also I know there are tangs and stuff but I don't really want any in my aquarium for feeding and size reasons. Does anyone know if Dardanus Gemmatus/Jeweled anenome hermit crab eats algae?? Needs to be reef safe and good with 24 degree water
