my salt water tank

iceman · 02-10-2008, 08:22 AM

Hello, I just started my new aquarium its about 150 gallons, I started out with 4 green chomis to get the tank started. Its been about 1 month and I think I can start adding other fish.I would like to start off with 2 clowns and maybe put some star fish and hermit crabs to help keep the tank clean. I really would llike to eventually add coral reef and put sea aneomes in it.

sounds like you are off to a good start and you have been patient.
What are your levels?
if the chromis have survived i do think clowns would be ok in our tank, they are quite hardy as well.
If you want to start on corals and yor levels are ok zoos or mushrooms are always a good beginers choice

Welcome to RS!
What are your levels? That is going to determine if you are ready or not. Tell us a bit about your system. What are you using for filtration, lights, etc. That makes a large difference in what you can and cannot do.
