New To Reef Life - Advice Needed

[speacci]

Welcome to Reef2Reef!

Aquascape looks great and you have a beautiful tank.

Here is a link to several articles from fellow R2R members about quarantine. I think you'll find some great information in these.

Thanks Dub. Will check those links.

Folks, here is what I plan for my livestock (long term). What order should I be adding them? I will be adding each line item basically a month apart. I have a QT tank ready to go. Assume I have figured out the tank/cycling/etc. I just wanna know what order I should get these in, and why?

I am ok with small fish. Hence why I am ok with having multiple. Altho I think the tangs grow big right?

Fish
- fire fish x6
- clown (x3 pairs)
- blue/green cromis x10
- cardinal fish x6
- shrimp gobie pair x1 (maybe)
- tang x1 yellow x1 purple x1 kole
- watchman goby (maybe) x1
- neon goby x1

CUC
- cleaner shrimp x2
- trochus snails x10
- starfish x2 (maybe, and what type?)
- maybe emerald crab x1 (only if I have bubble algae)

Again, please note that this is LONG TERM planning. This is just how my brain works. I see long term, so I am asking now, with the assumption things go as planned. Of course, if it doesn't, I'll adjust.

If it matters, I will be adding some softies, and LPS down the road, and only a few SPS.

You should do a build thread in the member tank area

That’s what I’m doing also. I’m a new guy here with a Red Sea reefer 450. About the same size as your but not the peninsula style

I started making some posts in this area also but apparently the member tank area is the place to be!

Looking forward to watching your setup! I also got Kessil A360X

Ok cool, will move the discussion there. Thanks for the tip.

Thanks man, I really appreciate it.

My own off subject: I work in IT Security so I analyzed the images to see if they were sharing too much about my home, before I posted. I then said to myself, those walls really came out nice. lol

I love the pictures where you can see people's faces, or the neighborhood out the window, or those crazy views into another room where they really should have closed the door so we don't see what was going on in the background.

I didn't notice the wall colors, but I did notice you are new on here, so Welcome to Reef2Reef.
Can't wait to see your build thread, and I will be searching the reflections for what I'm not supposed to see

So Glad you have joined us.
