Welcome and please slow down.
You can run a 10G tank but take a few hours to read as many threads as you can before you make a decision.
I started with a 10G algae tank then a 24G AP and am up to a 120G...which I have zero regrets about. The same cannot be said for the first two. That said you...
Make sure you leave yourself room on ends and front to clean. I have seen a lot of different ways that look nice. Think it depends a lot on what you like. Make sure you plan it out in advance, cuz while you can change some things around...the big placement is better to leave it alone.
Flame is the best one you listed, Atlantic pygmy is safest overall I think.
They are very interesting fish. I would argue they get a bad rap for their occasional picking. Any fish outside of cleaner gobbies might turn into a problem.
Bummer...I am sure you are hurtin.
You are going to need to build a shelf for all the tanks you have running. Do you have a plan for the eventual distribution of the first batch?
Re: My Oceanic Tech 120 and a request for input.
Thanks a lot for the super kind words. I have two islands that are really almost centered. They are connected by a couple bridges. I also have one small island on the back wall with GSP, Kenya tree, purple star polyps, that I don't want...
You guys both have great systems sorta G2. We should get a couple frags exactly the same size of two or three corals and see the growth. Any interest in doing that?
I hope they eventually come down. You are right though we all spend crazy money on something....I cannot swallow vortex pumps but have giessman actinics over UVL bulbs...whatever it is we have our vices. A drop to double the T5 lights or MH lights would do it, between energy saving and bulb...
Hmmm seems odd you don't see the tangs other then for feeding ... mine are in constant motion...OK occasionally the hippo will spook and hide but is back out fast real short term memory like Dory. You have some risk with dwarf angels yes.
Carib pygmy...purple yellow is the safest
flame is not...
I guess for motion dwarf angel fish? They are constantly picking at things, of course I just bought one so maybe it is on my mind. You run the risk that you get a bad apple though. AO has some really nice flame angels at the momment, I got a coral beauty. You have a fair amount of fish I am...
Looking back from Jan to the previous post it looks like you are doing something right. Don't know if it is the added rock that has helped your biological filtration or if you have upped your maintance...in any case good job.
;D
