I'm not planing on adding any fish to my tank for at-least 6 to 8 months , after my tank is finished cycling aprox 3/4 more weeks
, I plan on adding in the CUC consists of 15 red leg and 15 blue leg hermit crabs 10 turbo snails they will be added in small intervals not to overload the cycle , I also want to establish my reef with lots of coral , anemones and plant life before I introduce fish (I am still researching on what corals are best to start with) will add the tougher ones later on
OK now for the fish
From my research I found these to be reef safe and also get along with one another ,
1 Royal Gramma Basslet
2 Bangaii cardinal
1 Magenta Pseudochromis
2 Clown fish
2 Pajama Cardinal
1 Orange Back Basslet
1 Blue Hippo Tang as the center piece
all the fish average between 2 to 3 inch except for the tang 6 to 8 inch max
Do you think this is too over crowded for a 37 gal bow front 40 pounds of assorted live rock the rest of my tank stats are below in my signature
just want to do this right the first time
I am putting together a plan / blueprint so everything goes as smooth as it can with no issues also to help me put a budget aside for this beautiful aqua-scape :-D and adventure ,
Thanks for all your help and input , any and all info that will help this go smooth please pass it along
if you see any snags with my plans please let me know so I can correct them before I get to that stage .
rather fix blue print of any bugs now since its easier to fix on paper than it would be after its done.
Thanks again
John
