i have a fully established 15gal fowlr tank and i want to change live stock...
i want to stock it with
1.pelagic Blenny
2.yellow tail angel
3.small niger trigger
4.blue gudgeon goby

is this crazy????
any suggestions welcome

[jvharding]

I think the Trigger is a bad Idea.

[SweeTang22]

the angel might not be a great idea either. 30-40 gallons minimum for them!

[carmanimports]

i hope u did not buy already

[NATIVEVAMAN]

I would suggest a 65 gallon reef ready tank,some real lights and a protien skimmer.

[lilsalty]

thanks folks!!!! no i did not buy anything but i am eyeing up a 180gl bow front at LFS and think that is the one for me.
read tha fish combo on a small tank page as an option

[Dustin1300]

Don't forget how pricey the 180 is going to be...You might want to start with a 55 or something so you can get the reef started. These are my plans because I plan on getting my tank established in my 55 and actually was looking at a nice 180 at my LFS too...That's a couple years down the road after I've farmed some of my own coral so I won't have to buy so much and have such a bare tank with a 180...

[lilsalty]

very true but it looks so good. i know if i buy it i will be in alot of trouble with $$ and girlfriend...

[Dustin1300]

Yeah, I've got the same problem here but have even got the girlfriend to start liking the hobby so she has started contributing to the 55 gallon and I've gained some xenia, ricordea and other colors of mushrooms, and also some star polyps...That's all I think you gotta do is get her interested in it...

[Dustin1300]

It also helps when you tell her you don't have any money for dinner on the weekend because she realizes that you've been putting money into your new reef aquarium that is just getting started...

[Br14n55reef]

heres my idea.......Include your lady in every thing that has to do with the tank/tanks go small like you did...then a 55gal make it pretty for her then .uh oh no more room hun..so maybe slip the bigger tank idea in her head like im gonna lololol
dont let it brake ya take things slow your lady will be much more happy

[Tonz of fun]

I vote to go with the 180. I wish I had one and I just started my 54g bowfront

[lilsalty]

i hear ya.. She is intrested and has her own goldfish tank... She read all of this because i was lasughing so hard and looked over my sholder to see what was so funny.. So thanks but i dont think any of those ideas will work on her..She does like the tanks but we r running out of room(4 tanks in living room)

[Dustin1300]

Sorry...Just thought I would throw the idea out there! It worked for me and as long as my girlfriend does not get on here I should still be safe..

[tank72]

only 4 I got 8 and am look to sell some of my 10g .
Got 4 of them for sale so ya want to build a sump let me know.

[NATIVEVAMAN]

Salty,my sweety is a gold fish and damsel freak.We ahve 4 tanks running and two empty.We have a 65 I am setting up for her reef,and a 135 I want to use as a sump for something really BIG.

[Dustin1300]

Like a 300 gallon display tank built into the wall?

[NATIVEVAMAN]

300? Is that all? lol

[Dustin1300]

Okay, go for 500...GO BIG OR GO HOME!!!

[lilsalty]

if you are going to do 500 might as wel go 2000

[lilsalty]
