Yeah-righo Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 Hey guys and girls! First time on this Forum and Im going to need your help. Ive been doing a tonne of research around Marine tanks, in particular Reef. Ive set-up my system - sump, skimmer, salinity is where it needs to be and Ive got about 30kg of -pre-cycled rock (Live rock?). The system has cycled and now its time to add fish! This is where I need your help.... Stocking ideas would be great please Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah-righo Posted August 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 Cool, thanks for that. Ive added my location - Wellington Thanks Zane for finding the link to my pic haha I was thinking of kicking off with some Blue/Green Chromis - Perhaps 6. Then take it from there? Thoughts?

Yeah-righo Posted August 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 Ok, slowly putting my wish list together here... What are your thoughts on: 6 x Blue/Green Chromis x 6 (Introduce first) 4 x Banggai Cardinal 4 x Ocelaris Clowns - not sure which to introduce first. 1 x Foxface 1 x Masked Bannerfish - Im not sure if this is reef safe or not, conflicting articles out there. I would prob have to choose between these 2 fish Was thinking of adding in 3 Tangs in one go: 1 x Blue Hippo Tang 1 x Purple Tang Im not sure about a 3rd - Ideas? 1 x Wrasse - Bluestreak Cleaner - Add at the end. Do I add all my fish first and then inverts, like shrimp snails etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marinefish4life Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 Nice, but I would stick to 2 clowns and 2 banggais from what I have read they can get aggressive with more than 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah-righo Posted August 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 Can I ask what you stocked your tank with? Im still deciding what to do after the clowns..... Do you think introducing 3 Tangs in one go will be good? i was going to do an Angel after that :thup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faithbleed Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 To give you an idea, I've got a 350L setup and my stocking is as follows: - 2x Baby clowns - 3x Chromis - 1x Bangai - 1x Foxface - 1x Cleaner Shrimp - 3x Astea Snails - Various corals and frags I doubt I'll add more fish right as I think I've reached a decent stocking level, although I am reserving 1 spot for a mandarin fish in about a year or so.

Yeah-righo Posted August 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 Sounds good mate. Sorry if I sound naive... That sounds quite light stock levels for a 350? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
