G'day.
 
Hello.
Accidental cross posts aside I haven't really had the pleasure peoples.
I have a few year experience with marine fish but most has been with
predator setups.
Larger perch, eels, octopus and cuttle fish.
Now tho I have some very nice live rock going in a few tanks, not a real
reef yet but it's getting there sorta.
few soft corals but mainly just nice coraline algae.
Anyway 2 of my liverock 'friendly' tanks are 4 foot long and 1 &1/2 foot
wide
The other 2 are 3 foot long.
Each tank has clownfish (solomon island percs), blennys, snails,
I also have a coral beauty angel and an arc eye hawk fish in one of the 4's
My question is what fish do you reef guys have in your tanks that are doing
really well?

I'm not after a formula but I am interested to know what has worked well for
people.
I use ample biological filtration on these tanks and water changes to
control nitrates (on the beach here)
While not a live rock purist I have had nice results before.
And then woken up to see my new fish has eaten it all!


I know I haven't specified what anemone/coral/featherworms ect but I wanna
know the best behaved fish accross the board.
:-)
Must like clowns!

You might check out http://www.melevsreef.com/id/ . Click on anything that
strikes your fancy. If Mark says it's "reef safe", you'll probably have no
trouble with it eating your critters. Then all you have to worry about is
whether it will be nice to your other fish.

All successes in conservation are temporary. All defeats are permanent.

Hi there,
Nice to meet a friendly type on the list.
I won't advise you about reefs as I don't know enough, but please ignore
Stoutman the Troll. It doesn't speak for anyone but itself.

Your sense of humor differs from mine. Come to think of it, so does your idea of
relief.

Sharks are boring, rays a little more interesting.
I am happy with my mangrove jack.
Pound for pound he's more predator than anything else I have.
The moray eel tank is also very nice, low maintenence and bad enuf to be a
'boys' tank heh heh
All my predators are in 6 foot by 2 foot by 2 foot tanks.
the ones I want to add more fish too are the smaller tanks.

But yea I kinda shoulda expected the return asshole call
Which I did. WHich is why I don't mind you made it.
See I'm not here for a flame war
just a few suggestions
cheers
