Hello!
After a call where the wife says she wants to upgrade to a bigger freshwater tank and I (having no idea what saltwater entailed) respond, “Why don’t we do a saltwater tank?”, here I am
Now a month or so later we have a 37 gallon FOWLR with 2 Ocellaris Clowns that seem to be doing well.
I have learned a lot so far and look forward to doing a build thread on here.
I would like to add a Purple Firefish, a Coral Beauty, and a Royal Gramma.
Knowing that it’s a smaller tank, I would like to have some input on the following:
-Should I omit the Firefish or the Royal Gramma if having 2 Clowns and a Coral Beauty would be too much with both?
-My local LFS treats their tanks “mildly” I was told and it was recommended to get a fish that had been in 3-4 weeks. I don’t know if that would help if a tank mate was introduced with something or not but is it common for a LFS to act as a “QT” of sorts or I need to QT regardless without fail?
-Regarding QT, if I introduced a new fish with Ich or something else, since I have no corals or inverts (currently), can I treat in the DT? I thought I read some meds can stay in the rock?
Many thanks for any feedback on the above!
