Any suggest for next live stock

[davidlim1712]

Currently have six Nemo, any suggestions?

[erikokelf]

Wow seriously 6 nemo together? You might start to see aggression when they slowly grow up unless you got huge tank for them to have their own territory.

Anyway how big is your tank? Knowing your tank size could help with suggesting fishes.

Hmmmm....try firefish!Triggers are also a must have for a big tank!I don't have a big tank but still have trigger...

Maybe Angels?Flames are nice...or a queen.Or maybe add a school of chromis.

Just some suggestions....

[davidlim1712]

My tank size 87 x 75 x 60 cm.

[davidlim1712]

Snoopy, thanks for ur suggestion, how about blue tang or foxface rabbit?

[erikokelf]

Bro with your tank size you can have many selection. Blue tang will be a good bet if you don't have other bigger species of fish inside.

You might also consider yellow tang as this is one of the tangs that stay smaller.

Thanks for ur advise, how about the light set? Led or t5? My budget $200 only.....

[erikokelf]

Light set will be very dependent on what you intend to keep (fowlr, sps, lps, softies)?

With a $200 budget it will be very tight for a good light set.

Personally i'm using LED for the electric savings, less heat and life span but T5 seems to be the more proven lightning for many reefer out here.

Initial investment for LED is definitely higher than T5 but for myself i'm looking at long term cost effectiveness hence i choosen LED over T5 as i do not require to replace tubes frequently. Previously while using T5, i skive on the changing of tubes which result in change of light spectrum and my whole tank become algae paradise.

You may wished to study more in terms of lightning before you commit. My advise to you is buy the best you can afford.

Patience is the key to success, never rush onto anything as usually you will look back and regret.

Feel free to post any question in mind, we have lots of great bros and guru out here to advise you.

Ic, anyway I will buy the test kit end of this month to test water stable or not.

[boyot123]

Alot of clownfish will have aggression.u need to separate them imho.

[Snoopyhamburger]

Hmmm....I would prefer T5 and for fish wise,I would go for a fox.Reason is cause blue tangs are generally harder to keep due to having no scales...(yeah I know...I do my homework waaay before I got my tank,was thinking to get it after PSLE but got it 2 years behind )

Yup you better do test on your parameter before adding coral or fish. For example your current tank have high no3 or po4 but your current occupant still swimming happily is because they are somehow seasoned to the condition already. But for new occupant, they might get stress and die.

Also it be a good practice to do test to check if you are doing things right.
