Peaceful Tank

[akcnmom65]

Good Evening Guys,

I would like to have a very peaceful tank. I don't think that's possible but if it is what fish and corals should I add to my tank. I have a 65gal Red Sea.

A peaceful tank isn't hard to achieve if you do enough research. Impulse buying is what gets us into trouble...... Dohhhh

Thanks' for the advice Duke4Life. But how did you know impulse buying is my weakness.

It's all of ours, 2 fish on my end so far (less than 8 months back in). Impulse buying, not being patient, and skipping QT are what we need to avoid and we are all a part of this club at some point.

Next be realistic and ask questions on here, search the threads even on what interest you. Find that must have that would fit your 65 and build around it, just remember that every fish that's added can happily coexist with the others, I look at it like a spider web/brainstorm cluster.
To give you an idea I knew getting back in an eel was the only must have, a few months of research and asking others I settled on a Chainlink eel and realize crustaceans and shrimp might become a meal. Alcatraz is now with 2 Firefish (get a bonded pair, not just any 2 out of a tank full), 3 fairy wrasses, a flasher wrasse, green filefish, and a handful of peppermint shrimp, 125g 6 ft long to avoid any confusion to what these are in.

Hope that helps a bit more.
