im gonna let it cycle and from what i have been told it shouldnt take too long since i got live rock and sand. then ill add my clean up crew
1 coral banded shrimp
2-3 skunk shrimp
2 turbo snails
3-4 nassarius snails
am i forgetting anyhting?
my final plan is
1 bubble tip anemone
2 ocelaris clowns 1 black 1 standard
(not sure but i would like a goby blenny or jawfish of some kind)
I really like the dwarf flame angels and coral beauties what do you think?
then coral wise im thinking
ricordea mushroom or red mushroom unsure still
brown toadstoool mushroom
2 different kinds of zoanthus
and a starburst polyp
this soundlike a decent stocking plan?

I've thought of getting some sort of biocube or aquapod and trying my hand at a saltwater tank (something I've never done before). It'll be a few months before I can afford one, so in the meantime I'll be very curious to see how yours works out for you.

the bio cubes are a little bit bigger and have an external ballast for the lights while the aqua pods are built in. If i were a girl of that age i would totaly be more into fish than guys or makeup lol

Flame angels have been known to nip at corals, so I would be very careful there. I've been hankering for one of those myself, but just don't want to risk my corals. Anemones are difficult to keep, and most recommend you do not add them until the tank has been up and running for at least 6 months. This allows time for A) your tank to mature and stabilize, and B) your skillls, knowledge, and experience to increase. The coral selection looks good...some nice looking and easy to keep choices there. Gobies or jawfish either one should be compatible with the clowns and corals, so no worries there. Just be sure to research the specific variety before buying...some have specific requirements, such as deep substrate. The clowns would probably be fine IF you put them both in the tank at the same time. If you add them at different times you might have some aggression on your hands.

i wasnt planning on adding the anemone untill after 6 months. i had already taken that into account. what would be another good active colorful swimming fish that would take the place of a dwarf angel or coral beauty? I was planning on adding both clowns at the same time. |

oriental sweetlips are nice, but you'd have to be careful of them with snails...so maybe not.
I would suggest any sort of wrasse |
