Sounds good, thank you. I don’t plan on adding nems until I know the tank is well established, which from my research is about 6 month to a year. Nem will be the last thing I add after bioload catches up to the stocking I want.

So you’d suggest even tho I want anemones only, to use corals in the meantime for filtration until the tank is established enough for a nem? Are there any corals that are nem safe? I’ll do some more research into this, if I can do corals without a dosing pump and only water changes I’ll give it...

This is why i think I’ll stay away from corals for the most part, clowns and nems are priority so i may stay away from the firefish for now. It would be great if i could get the clowns breeding. The other stocking is fine? Goby, shrimp etc? I would love to add some small inexpensive corlas once...

I believe I want to do more macro algae’s and anemones to start, I’m not sure tho. Trying to avoid the need for a dosing pump, is this possible? I understand the use of corals for filtration, so I’m alright with using them to get the tank established. But long term I want more anemones than...

I plan on incorporating a good amount of caves and hides. Do you think they’d be ok given each their own area? Is it more the personality of each fish or are they guaranteed to be aggressive? Would it be the clowns doing the bullying? The clowns are priority for me, so the fire fish can be...
