Senior Reefer yikai Posted February 16, 2010 Senior Reefer Share Posted February 16, 2010 there's not much choices since your tank is not that big. with a big tank you can do reef, FOWLR, predator tank, etc etc. for a small tank like yours, there's basically only reef tank. since FOWLR and predator etc require much bigger tanks. why don't you just restart and keep nano fishes with soft corals? or try to make a nicer reef tank! or upgrade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good idea for the nano fishes and soft corals but i think i would remove my damsel, remove coral skeletons and restart! But i don't think i'll re cycle the whole thing... Livestocks i want to keep: 1 Mystery wrasse (if i can hunt for a mini one) 2 Tank bred wierdo percs... (2 stripes kind) 2 Anthias 1 Yellow Tang or other tangs That's abt all and for gems... I intend to start with a few frags of Monti and acros will then gradually put in more frags this time no colonies just frags (i'll try to stick to this) And Zoas and Chalices and most probably rics... If i can afford otherwise 2-3 polyps and wait for off spring... Quote 1ft cube with IOS [the low tech tank] 1. JBJ C-breeze to keep temp hovering around 27-28'C 2.
