New Setup

[Cbowen4]

Hey everyone!
I'm new to the saltwater world and I'm working on setting up a 37G FOWLR tank.

Here's my setup:
37G tank (12"L x 30"W x 22"H)
Eheim Canister Filter @ 116 GPH
Reef Octopus 100 HOB Protein Skimmer
2-Maxi-Jet 600 Powerheads @ 160 GPH each
EVO Quad 30" LED Light
40lbs Ocean Direct Live Sand
30lbs Dry Fiji Live Rock
10lbs Fiji Live Rock

That is my setup so far and I'm looking for ideas on stocking. Colorful fish and a good quantity is desired.
Hope to here from you all soon!

welcome to the forum and hobby! well, in terms of stocking, I'd look at a pair of clowns (I love wyoming whites - some of the designer clowns out there are amazing looking!), perhaps a yellow watchman goby/pistol shrimp pairing, there are some beautiful colorful wrasses that are compatible with that size tank I believe (you'll need a top) maybe some smaller nano type fish as well. You can check out Live Aquaria for some ideas on fish and their tank size needed and compatability with other fish.

Remember.....40lbs of rock and 40lbs of sand is going to "displace" a lot of water. Leaving you with around 20-25 gallons of actual water volume. This will have a direct effect on the number of fish you can safely and successfully maintain.
The only Wrasse Live Aquaria recommends for a tank under 50g is the Pygmy Wrasse. I agree with them 100%.
