Craig Manoukian · 12-04-2007, 10:27 PM

Lot's of color for sure.

tbittner · 12-04-2007, 10:38 PM

I can't WAIT to see this tank come alive. If you would like some help setting it up, let me know. I'm always up for a weekend road trip.

michael_cb_125 · 12-05-2007, 06:47 AM

Soory Heinze. I already have the pair of clowns and they are starting to breed. I want to keep them.

Thanks everyone, I think that these fish will give me alot of color, plus they are all smaller and peaceful. I need that in a tank with two BSJF.

Terry- I am definatley going to need some help gettin this bad boy set up. I am not quite sure how to do the plumbing. Also It is going to be challenge making the PVR rock racks, and getting the rock to work the way I want it.

Chris- I am going to a tangless reefer, until I get my tank in my home.

Dentoid · 12-05-2007, 08:27 AM

Nice line up for sure! Are you going to put fish in from the beginning or are you going to get the coral infrastructure going well before you add all the fish?

michael_cb_125 · 12-05-2007, 09:00 AM

I like to add the majority of the fish before the corals. This way I have the biological part of the tank all ready. When you add fish to a system there is allways some sort of spike in Ammonia, Nitrite, nitrate. Granted in a well maintained system, this spike is very small or even undetectable. But it is none the less a spike. I want my tank to be FULLY cycled with no chance of a mini-cycle before I add many SPS corals. Corals have a very light bio-load, so if you have your tank setup with just corals, your bacteria population is not very strong. When you add fish, you bateria has to work overtime to catch up, and often times you will see higher thatn optimal levels of Ammonia, Nitrite, and Nitrate

tbittner · 12-05-2007, 09:06 AM

Makes perfect sense! Good plan!

lcstorc · 12-05-2007, 10:43 AM

Sounds like you have a great plan.
I love the fish you have chosen. There is a lot of color there.

michael_cb_125 · 12-05-2007, 11:55 AM

Thanks everyone. I cant wait for my tank to get here. I needed to be cycling about a month ago.

I know that I am adding Jose and his new little friend first. But I do have a question. Will the Lyretail and ventralis get along. I know that the ventralis can be a little aggressive towards other anthias. Which groups should I add first?
