    Hey guys!
    My SW tank is now up and running!
    It has been cycling for 2 weeks already and am really thinking about the fish that i want to put in it.
    The tank is 34"x14"x14". It has a built in power filter, that is very strong, and also has an internal Fluval 3 filter.
    The lighting is a 50/50 Coralife light.
    I have a small protein skimmer.
    The fish i really want are:

    - Velvet Damselfish
    - Yellow Tailed Damselfish

    And im thinking i want some green chromis also, but am open to all other ideas.
    Thanks for your help,
    Mez

    hahaha.. james, u are really fickle-minded.. hahaha. i asked u to keep green chromis right?? hahaha.. never mind.. i would advice u keeping a flame angel.. or lemon peel.. they are beautiful.. have some fishes that are different in colors.. will bring out the tank and make it more vibrant.. however, just dun overload the tank..[]

    Hi Mez,


    Congras. But do add fishes in batches. A few at a time n not all at one go. This is to prevent upsetting the N2 cycle. Just to quote frm other members, PATIENCE is the key to Marine fish keeping.


    BTW, is yr tank MT when it is running? If that is the case, how is the BB going to build up? There must be some fish(or waste producing stuff) in it in order for BB to build up.

    Cheers

    Tigger, what is BB and MT??? green chromis can be purchased at S$1 each at pac marine.. btw, Mez is staying in England.. so his price is different..

    james,
    pls check on the water parameters periodically, and do add fishes in batches.. if not, your system can still 'crash'..

    Haha Kelvin
    Yeah, the reason i ask this question is so i dun overload my tank.
    Also i believe the fishes i chosen very hardy..
    I am fishless cycling, with a dead shrimp from supermarket.
    Flame Angel cannot. Waaaay too pricey. How would a percula clown do?
    thanks,
    Mez
