Fish List

i lik fish · Aug 26, 2017

Hey guys, i've always liked fish, mainly SW. So I have finally decided to set up a 29 gal reef tank. I will be running a MarineLand 350 GPH filter, a 150 watt heater and 2 Hydor 240 GPH wavemakers. I don't know what to get for lighting tho. But anyway onto the fish and other stuff.

A pair of clowns. (Not sure what kind yet)

A Tiger Jawfish

A Clown Goby or Blenny. (Maybe Both?)

And possibly some pajama fish.

Inverts:

15 or 10 small blue legged hermit crabs.

2 Sally light foot crabs.

1 or 2 Serpent stars.

Like your fish selection, although I probably wouldn't get the pajama cardinals - they just don't seem to have much "personality" compared to some other fish you might consider like a long nosed hawk, molly miller or a royal gramma. Yellow and green clowns are some of my favorites, btw. As far as inverts, you will find many reefers who believe sally light foots will become very aggressive as they grow larger and will pose a risk to your fish. Personally, I would go light, no pun intended, on the inverts until I was sure that I could provide enough food for all of them while maintaining good water quality.

Good start.

Welcome to Reef 2 Reef

I like to have a small Royal Urchin in my clean up crew.

You need to have your frags. glued down and they are known to eat coralline algae but they sure earn their keep as a part of a clean up crew. I would not add one until your reef has cycled and very stable.
