Tank Size Ok?

Hi Jas

Personally I would stay away from Damsels, as they can be bullies
2 Clowns would be perfect in your tank
Anemone's - Defo a Nono for a young tank (same goes for the Star's)
A Coral Beauty IMO are an excellant fish to add to a reef, but like all Dwarf Angels they can nip at soft corals (mine never has but it is a personality thing)
Yellow Tang - Really in a 50g (US) is a defo No unfortunatly

What about a Bannerfish - very easy to look after and would do fine in a 50g


Arrowcrabs aint really ReefSafe

Liverock - I would aim for around the 15 - 20 kg mark & eggcrate is a good idea as this will maximize the filtration area of your LR

Filtration is taken care of by your Live Rock & a good flow (powerheads) so no need for artificial Bio-filtration

Thanks for all the advice, just have to find a conversion chart for kg to lbs. lol
I reallly appreciate all the help.

you want 1-1.5 lbs for every gal. So for a 55 gal you want 55-80 lbs of live rock.

Just to revisit and agree with the replies.

Damsels.....you'll be sorry. Real agressive and territorial.

Blue tang. Adult specimens are frowned upon in anything smaller than a 180 to 240 gallon. And the juvies have a great tendancy to hide in your rocks till they are grown. A double loser really.

Arrow crabs are really quite cool. Mine was amazing the way he fed on bristles and such. Problem was, he developed a taste for shrimp. He gabbed a beautiful large and expensive cleaner shrimp and killed it within one minute of it being introduced to the tank. And we are talking a 125 gallon at the time!

I would start with the six line, then add the coral beauty, and enjoy for a while and decide what is best from there.
