whats in your reef

[steveo32]

Going to upgrade to a 125 reef and was wondering wht type and how fish other reefers were keeping. pleaseinclude all success and failures thank you
Whats in the setup already are, a morron clown, 3 green chromis, purple tang and also one misc. damsel. Waht I would lie kto add is a school of anthias or fairy wrasses which ever is voted easier and also maybe a sohal tang. What do you think?

no way to the sohal, the tank is much to small.

the anthias can work, make sure you do not have more than one male in the group other wise they will fight.

the chromis are good too, it's just hard to find ones that will live, they are not hardy fish when first collected.

wrasses would be cool, just make sure the tank is well covered they like to jump out, so do the ananthias.

Ok well before I found this tank my five other tanks lasted me like 2-6 months a piece.

Now I have a 65g that started as a 15g, then to a 55g, then to a 30g, then to a 65g non reef-ready, now to a 65g RR. This has been my only real success and I'm still working on it. Been about a year since I started the 15g. Going mainly SPS and I think I'm ready for it for real this time. Got a tiny yellow tang, a GS maroon, a PJ cardinal, a algae blenny, and a chromis all are really small fish so bioloads pretty low.

I think the sohal(from what I read on the other thread) is gonna be a really bad idea since its gonna get really aggresive.

i have remnants of my @#$%! snail :banghead: :irked:

 

[nyfireman3097]

anthias depend on which ones you get some are fairly easy some are VERY hard to keep

 

[oceanrealm]

Some of those wrasses can be jumpers. I have a graveyard behind my tank.

 

[steveo32]

yeah thats what ive heard about the wrasses but i don't think i would have a problem because it going to be a wall unit construction type deal. Ok well what fairy wrasses or anthias would you guys recommend >?

 

[nyfireman3097]

bartletts and lyetails are easier then most others

I find the anthias to be very hardy ,nice fish ,and active ,A+++ for them
