Stocking question

shibbyplustax · Jun 28, 2013

My jbj nanocube 24 is currently cycling and i am wondering how i shoul introduce my fish. I plan on having a percula clown pair, a firefish and a small goby or two. What should i add first, and what order would you add the rest?
I also plan on having a bunch of easy to keep beginner corals.
Equipment:
D120 full spec led
Aquac remora with maxijet 900
265 gph return pump
Tunze nanostream 6015 powerhead
I plan on setting up the middle filter chamber with chaeto and a fuge light

Let me know.

Doesn't matter. Your stocking list isnt' agressive. Although the Clown would be territorial.

Personally I wouldn't get clowns, they're evil-lol.
The rest are cool

if possible, add them all at the same time.

Do they really get that territorial? I dunno if i would add them all at the same time since im cycling right now and dont want to overload the tank all at once.

No, don't add anything while your cycling. And yes, Clowns are very mean lil dudes.

I know not to add anything until the cycle is complete but after its complete would adding all 4-5 fish be safe? I was planning on only adding one or two at a time. Do you think keeping clowns would be a problem in this set up?

Your correct, adding one or 2 to the system at a time, would be wise. I don't think you will have a problem with having Clowns.

When/if the clowns start to spawn, there is a chance that they will claim the whole tank as theirs. It is shocking how aggressive a pair of clowns can become once they start spawning.

Would it be better if i only got one clown?

Reefing Madness · Jun 28, 2013

I'd still say your ok with 2.

I have two clowns in a 12g nano with no problem. They're the only fish in there.
