HELP!!! Stocking??

[CrGiants]

I have a 30 gallon, power filter, prizm skimmer, 25-30 lbs of LR, DSB, 2 powerheads....I can't decide what all I want in my tank. I'm going to have some small frags with polyps, but I'm hoping people can chime in and give me some suggestions.

Well if your levels of ammonia and nitrite are zero and your nitrate is in an accepatable range,then your cycle is done and just add animals slowly.If your calcium and alkalinity is high enough and you can keep it high through additives,I would purchase a soft coral package from www.tropicorium.com and then a cleanup package from www.etropicals.com.Than I would maybe buy a pair of cb clownfish and/or cb bangaii cardinals at www.premiumaquatics.com or www.inlandaquatics.com.I would not put more than 5 to 6 reasonable size fished in this tank.There maximum size would have to be 3 inches.I would even say go with a shrimp goby and pistol shrimp,it is neat watching their symbotic relationship.Always ask here and read before you buy any organism be it fish,coral,shrimp,etc.

Sorry, I should clarify, my tank is 2 years old, and everything is great. Just gave my two tomato clowns away, and am trying to decide what I want now.

Sorry about the first half of my post than.Well I would still go with a pair of cb clownfish and a pair of cb bangais and maybe a goby,or do just wnat a list of corals to put in the tank.

I would love some ideas as to what inverts/corals for my tank. Also, what do you think about maybe an angel in my tank (dwarf of course)?

Before we can help you with coral/invert suggestions, you'll need to tell us what kind and amount of lighting you are using.

As for the dwarf angel, you may want to stay away from them. You have a 50/50 chance that the angel may pick at your corals. I had a flame angel in my 125 gallon reef and never saw it pick at my corals, but I've heard other people who have had flame angels that did a lot of damage.
