Hi,
I just received a 65 gallon tank as a gift. I`m real tempted to make it a
marine tank. I had a pretty successfull 45 Gallon about 20 years ago.
I would appreciate any help in deciding.
1) Ive been reading that Triggers are a no-no in a reef tank. Can you keep
just 1 maybe? I`m a Huma Huma fan.
2) I dont want to go nuts with a reef. I`m really looking to just have a
couple of nice hearty carpet anenomes for percula clowns. I`m not planning
any corals. I did used to have an amazing Purple Tube Anenome. I`d like one
of those Orange ones also. I lost a small Hippo tang to a tube anenome in
the past, but they lived together for 2 years before that happened. The 65
is a bigger tank, so is it a bit safer now to keep Tubes and fish in the
same tank?
3) How many fish is it cool to put in---my vision for the tank is the
following. Please let me know if this will be a realistic , stable
situation. Also point me in the right inforemation direction. To be honest,
I`d like to set it up in a responsible manner---and then not have to worry
TOO much about it in the future.
1 (problematical) Huma trigger
1 Butterfly fish
1 Yellow Tang
1 Dragon Wrasse
1 hippo tang
2 Percula Clowns
1 valentini Puffer
1-4 small wrasses/Gobies for in the coral (I have a lot left over from
previous tank).
1 Jawfish
thanks for fielding my naive queries
