[toastii]

Ok so i know i have been playing around with many many many ideas in the last couple months- but i finally got a 40gl hex tank that i love with a 10gl sump!!


so this is the equiptment im looking at
i have a 10gl sump and plumbing
and put a mini G-series ASM skimmer in there-
NOVA extreme HOT-5 with Lunar lights

visitherm heater- i personally like that heater-
50lbs of sand- 20live 30 nonlive-
mag 5 or 7- l
2 maxi jets- 1200/900
20lbs of rock from somewhere- prolly just dead base rock
30lbs of TBS rock smile.gif

then a whole bunch of the miscellanious equiptment that i have calculated into cost but dont feel like listing
IF ANYONE HAS ANY EQUIPTMENT THAT IS ON THIS LIST AND DONT NEED/WANT PM ME! I WILL WANT IT

so this is my stocking list which leads me to you guys-- i have some mini polls

a pair of some sort of clown fish
some sort of dwarf angel
1 cleaner goby
1 perly jaw
2 fire fish

1 cleaner shrimp
2 peps (mayb)
2 each of- cerith/turbo/nerite
1 BTA
coral frags i get from ppl <3
any other invert suggestions?

NOW for the mini poll!!!


1st mini poll
Should I get an Dwarf Angel Fish: What Type?

Midnight
Lemon Peel
Flame Angel
None at all

2nd Mini Poll
Onyx or Orange Clown Fish?

B&W
Ocsellarius (sp?)/Percula
Tomato

3rd mini Poll
If no Dwarf Angel Fish; what fish should i get instead?

Open response

Basically i want contrasting colors so if i got onyx clowns i wouldnt get a midnight dwarf-

i wonder how many ppl will respond to those polls- normally if i do that hardly anyone responds

Please respond-


I also had questions about Kalk
i have read a couple articles about it-
i understand it is not required to have a calcium reactor/kalk reactor but how difficult is it to dose without the security of one?

what supplements would one consider dosing with

I don’t know much about angel fish but from what I have seen here and on other sites the flame angel seams to be the choice every one gets for a smaller tank.

IMO B&W clowns are better fish.

Nice tank BTW.

im very excited about it- i cant wait to fill it up

i have gotten mixed responses and prolly will lean towards not getting a dwarf angel at all-

b&w clowns are gorgeous but there are in an iffy price range-

im getting 30lbs of TBS LR and i hear that stuff is amazing soo hopefully some cool critters will come with that

and also about the fish as someone else put it leave some space for the moment where "you just GOTTA have that fish"

Atlantic Pygmy or Cherub angels are nice. I also really like the Fisher's and White Tail Angel. All of those are 'true' dwarf angels that stay really small. As for the clownfish I personally like Cinnamon clowns and Black Saddle clowns.

You should also get a "basslet"- royal gramma, blackcap, lantern, harlequin, swiss-guard., etc. They are all small and lots of fun!
