my dad is giving me his old 75 gallon tank as he just upgraded to a 125. I was originally planning to switch it over to fresh, but I I've decided to keep it salt.
ph- 8.3
ammonia- 0
nitrite- 0
nitrates- 20
salinity- 1.023
I got it tested two days ago and apparently they charge for any extra testing, so I haven't tested KH, Mg, or calcium yet.
I love pajama Cardinals and want to have at least a school of 3+. any suggestions for what else to put in the tank? my dad left a little coral in it, which I'll add pictures of. there are a few snails, but I forget which type. there may possibly be shrimp and hermit crabs, but I'm not sure if there are or not. I'm going to for sure add some more rock and change things around. it's nowhere near ready yet, but I'd love some ideas for stocking
I don't want any tangs. while I like them a lot, I don't plan on getting anything larger anytime soon, so I'd like everything to stay small enough for the tank.
other than that, I'm pretty much open to anything. as stated above, they have to be able to get along with pajama Cardinals. my dad had one of these in his first tank that he got used from someone. I've loved them ever since.
I'd also like to get captive bred if possible. I know not a whole lot of saltwater fish are captive bred, but I just don't really like the idea of wild caught.
