Hi!<<< newbie in the house :)
Hiya all!
I am new to SW, have a 45gal FOWLR tank. I just found "Just Fish" today and I am soooo happy with your crew up there! I have been visiting other SW forums on the net and just not been able to get all my questions answered. In 15 minutes you guys helped me a ton, thank you!
I'm on a budget, so not much to my set up to brag about just yet. But in there I have:
- A scooter blenny
- A lemon angel
- A yellow tail blue damsel
- A royal gramma
- A percula
- An oreo percula
- A chocolate chip sea star
- A bubble tip anemone
- one poor little snail lol
Working next on my clean up crew... can anyone recommend anything that would go good with the fish I have in there?
I'll post some pics - soon as I figure out how to get the fish to pose lol!
Thanks!
Rene

Re: Hi!<<< newbie in the house :)
welcome to the forums
sounds like you are about 1/2 to 3/4's full on the fish side with the ability to put in some inverts. Of course your filtration will play a part and your water change habits for the final number.
The selection to you is huge, all kinds of blennies and gobies, hawk fish, tangs and more for your tank

Re: Hi!<<< newbie in the house :)
THank you for the warm welcome (eek just saw the guestbook area... oops on posting this here? lol)
I am wanting to add in shrimp, crabs, etc.. but not sure which ones are best. And, do I also feed them or do they make it on what's in the tank? If it's the latter, my tank is too young I think to support them.
I would love a tang, but I thought they got to be 5 inches or so.. did I get that wrong?
As for posing I took an hour's worth of pics yesterday and everyone is a blur! I have several different settings on my digital and nothing would work. Waaaa!!!! I'll get something up soon tho
I think you're right Gz on PRP... I really like you guys over there!

Tangs do grow but its nothing fast and you will enjoy for years on most of the smaller ones before they will ever get that big, and when they do we trade them in or buy I bigger tank.....I prefer the latter

I do recommend certain tangs be one of the last things put in and even the better ones added after you tank is well established ie months

Re: Hi!<<< newbie in the house :)
ok I can wait...
Is it too early for a clean up crew? Other than the diatoms (which I hate) the tank looks like there's not much available for them to eat?
