Tank Stock

[Betta5]

Well my mum was able to stop my other tank (they hadent even made it yet) as i found a site that will make me a 5x2x2 tank for £110 then £60 delivery,

Its going to be a fish only, Will keep you guys updated and i wont change anymore, im sorta excited. All i know is i want a snowflake eel and a niger triggerfish maybe some sort of Dwarf angel?

Not really sure, but i better get this set up, haha need to order the tank, but yay! 5 footer!

Oh i have a question, should i move my firefish and clown to this new tank? Would the bigger fish give them greif?

Thanks

i think the snowflake eel and trigger may cause grief to the clown and firefish particulary when the trigger gets bigger and mayeb becomes a bit peckish .... and 5 footer whey you can get some nice fish in that if its fo!! if the clown n firefish are doing well in ur other tank i wud leave them there

Its only a 12 gallon i will have to sort somthing out. Maybe sell them back to the shop?

 

[shibby]

imo those 2 fish will be fine in a 12gal!

Maybe, they seem ok for now and the tomato/blackfin clown is about 2" and the firefish is to. All seems ok at the moment its been like 3 months i lost track maybe 4?

Could i get a yellow tang and a regal tang? Would they fight?

 

[shibby]

they may do. there both different body shapes n colours though, but since both need more swimming room then average fish .... they might fight! not 100% sure on that one though.

fish i would consider for an fo:

valentini puffer
lyetail wrasse
dwarf lionfish

some of the non reef safe wrasses are awesome too go to liveaquaria and look at the non reef safe wrasses

just some fish to look at and consider

tomato wouldnt be able to stay in the 12 gallon, but the firefish would be fine in the 12

Thats what i thought. Its defo a backfin (black foot) not a tomato but they grow to the same size as a tomato. I spose i will look around for a smallish tank maybe a 3foot they usualy have them for sale for quite cheap. Could just put sand, rocks (not live) and filter on, heater and then the fish maybe a powerhead.

I work it out to be 150ish US gallons 125ish UK gallons, is that right?

Thanks

May as well ask here, Do you need RO water to collaborate a refrcatometer? Could i use tap water?

Actually you should use a calibrated salt solution. Check the realm of knowledge sticky in reef chit chat, I posted a link which has the details there on the 2nd page
