Fowlr Tank

ZBT3091 · 05-20-2007, 07:18 PM

After trying to set up a reef tank, iv decided to just go with fowlr. I have a few fish from my FO and i think i am going to keep them. I have about 60 lbs of LR, 4 inch sand bed, 2 Eheim Hang ons, Eheim Canister Classic Filter, and Remora Skimmer. This is what i think my stocking list is going to look like: Foxface (already have), Bluethroat Trigger (already have), hippo tank (already have), Klein Bfly (already have), diamond goby (already have)... i was thinking maybe i would add a pair of clowns, but i am afraid they would be beaten up by my trigger. I also have 3 blue devils in a 25 that i was thinking about adding. i think i also want to add a saddleback bfly OR a yellow tang. And maybe a few bangaii or pajama cards. How does this stocking list sound? is it too overstocked?

How big is your tank?

I would not do a Blue Hippo and a Yellow in a 75gal

. These two are real pigs. I have both in a 120gal, and they are still a bit of a handfull for my Aqua C EV180 skimmer. I would maybe do one but not both. The two of them together would put a damper on anything else you might want to keep. Just mt thoughts. Other than that your list sounds fine
