completely restarting my stock list after deciding to change the theme of my tank. my previous stock included
- a pair of true perculas
- yellow coriss wrasse
- LMB
- (1) blue chromis (4yrs old!)
- red serpent
- a pair of peppermints
- randall's pistol
- a porcelain crab
those were the major inhabitans in my 24 AP. I'm slowly starting to make a transition from a zoa dominated tank to more mixed tank with mostly high end montis, ricordeas and zoas. even though i loved all my inhabitans very much, basically i was stuck with them for years after buying them during my newbie years...this time i want to get it exactly right. so. this is what i'm thinking so far.
- a pair of black percula & rod's onyx
- a pair of harlequins
- a pair of skunks
- a pair of peppermints for small aiptasia control
- a yellow clown goby
- (3) candy stripe cardinals OR (2) PJ cardinals
i'd love to add a pistol/goby pair...but my AP is open roofed, so i don't want to risk any carpet surfing. the list still seems to be lacking something though...lol Please suggest any fish/inverts you might think might be nice for a 24 AP. here's the tank recently re-set up as a blank canvas
an old pic of what the tank used to look like.
most of the livestock has been sold and given away to start over...
few of the changes i'm going to be making to the AP in next few weeks are... switching the MJ 900 to a MJ 1200 and adding a skimmer...currently thinking about a local selling his aqua c remora w/ mj1200. took out most of the LS since it was just trapping detrius, building up my nitrate...so I'm planning on siphoning out the few particles left as you can see in the pic, and hoping zoas will cover the glass bottom as time passes by. also, making one of the backchambers into a more efficient "refugium" filled with rubble LR, chaeto, and maybe few xenia strands. won't be too effective since space is so small, but can't hurt. any recommendations for a cheap fuge lightings would be apprecieated also
