Aquatopia Posted April 29, 2005 Report Share Posted April 29, 2005 Hi guys - i know some people have detailed their tank inhabitants in various other titled threads, but i thought it might be interesting for all of us to list them here in a specific location. It may show general trends also, which would assist newbies in their choice of fish. To that end, perhaps when listing you could annotate your fish or inverts with the letter B, P, or E - which would stand for (B)eginner, (P)rogressing and (E)xpert. Also, at the bottom, maybe you could just note the overall size of your system so we dont get anyone looking and thinking they can add 20 fish to a 3 foot tank. I could devise (with your suggestions if you like) a legend for abbreviations. And get a moderator to put that on as a sticky for reference. This could include abbreviations for equipment used too. What do you think? Would only take 10 mins each..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kermit Posted April 29, 2005 Report Share Posted April 29, 2005 OK Chris, i don't know what catigory i full in as i've been in the hobby for just over a year but my main tank is 4'L x 20"w x 18"h and my sump holds about 35L and i have a 3'L x 18"w x 15"h tank aside the main tank plumbed up, this gives me a total of about the 420L mark. The main tank has the following fishies: 1x Purple tang (Blurple) 2x Polymous Clowns (Brucie and Brucetta) 1x long nose butterfly (Beaker) 1x six line wrasse (Rex) 1x cleaner shrimp (No name but open to surgestions) the smaller tank has the following: 2x clowns i think ones a common clown (female) and the others a percullar clown (male) and they are a matting pair. 1x coral banded shrimp (eddy) i mainly have stonie and soft corals, not sure on the proper names as i dont realy have any good ID books so cant help you in that way.

Aquatopia Posted April 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2005 Cool - thats a start - any more wanna add their list? Kermit - nice choice on the Purple tang and the forcipiger (beaker) - i recently learned you can keep several of those together. Brianemone - sounds wonderful. Is that classified as a nano ? - i love the six line wrasse, although im used to them being called pyjama wrasse. Lovely colouration.

Control Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 Layton Nice list. Hopefully I'll be able to get mine back to that standard one day. Although I only ever had about 3/4's of that. Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookie extreme Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 cookie, hows your clown trigger with corals???? hi TM, he is ok, but nips on the acropora tips sometimes (mainly when not feed enough i guess) he also does not like you to re-arrange his tank i.e. new rock or corals. fish don't seem to bother him much. will keep him for as long as possible in the reef, later either move him to a tank thats set up for bullies like him or sell him not sure yet. will wait and see. but he is such a cool looking fish and the acropora grow fast enough anyway. my cleaner shrimp even tries to clean him (possible suicidal) :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquatopia Posted April 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 cookie... Clown triggers. Lovely fish. Im amazed he doesnt cause more mayhem in a reef though. Never kept one myself though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
