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

Hmmm... 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... :whistle

Livestocks i want to keep:

1 Mystery wrasse (if i can hunt for a mini one) :huh:

2 Tank bred wierdo percs... (2 stripes kind) :heh:

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 :erm: otherwise 2-3 polyps and wait for off spring... :peace:

Slowly increase yr livestocks and corals bit by bit...most impt is to have a rockscape to place your gems that is easy and manageable.

Hey bro willing to help u revamp ur tank :rolleyes:

Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever.
