Fish only tank

[briansandle]

Hi everyone, this is my first post and I am going to be setting up a tank but for a while I am only going to have fish in it, I understand that for corals you need calcium, alkalinity, nitrate, phosphates. But if I only want to keep fish for the time being do I need any of them ? I have coral pro salt but I didn’t know if I would need to test for all and calc and stuff like that ? Hop this makes sense

These will be a part of your salt mix. If you are doing FOWLR you wont need to dose.

Welcome to R2R! We're happy to have you.. As for dosing, nothing required! Also, you can get away with using a salt with lower elements and than the Red Sea Pro - pretty much any salt mix will do you fine with no corals..

What's the plan? What fish will you be having?

I don't even test on my fish only tank, I don't feel any need, I just maintain weekly water changes.

I was just about to post another question about fish , but I’ll ask you. My friend said that she had a pair of clowns in her tank before but they got brookynella and she said that is white common, so I was gonna avoid clownfish. I was hoping to get some chromis, I have a 20 gallon cube so how many chromis do you think I can get in there ? Or what other fish would you recommend?
