    Currently have redo my reef tank to the above setup.

    Tank size : 2ft (h) x 2ft (l) x 1.5ft (d)
    Volume : 170L
    Glass thickness : 10mm all
    Filteration : Currently using Eheim 2227, venturi-type skimmer powered by OTTO powerhead, DSB 4" thick C1 sand, Live rock 30kg, but will use sump(under internal cycling) and will replace eheim 2227(lelong, lelong!).
    Livestock : 1 blue damsel

    1 firefish

    Lights : 2ft 36w x 2

    My question is can I add this livestock later without any problems.Please comment. Currently tank on final phase of cycling. Ammonia 0ppm, N02 and N03 on the low side.

    1. 1-2 fire shrimp


    2. 1-2 Cleaner shrimp


    3. 1 Coral Beauty Angelfish


    4. 1 Flame Angelfish


    5. 1 Maroon Clownfish or 3-4 common clownfish


    And maybe a couple of feather dusters and one anemone for the clownfish. Can anyone forsee a problem with my choices of livestock. Intend to get hermit crabs and starfish too. Please comment b4 I start purchasing them 1 by 1. Intend to make a community tank setup if bio-load and livestock compatiblity permits. Thanks

    try to get the parameters to zero.. especially NO2.. u dun want to risk it dun u...

    2. 1-2 Cleaner shrimp
    yes.. go ahead.. for the things i mentioned for fire shrimp

    i recommend no more than i dwarf angel inside.. go for flame if possible.. their bright colors will bring out the reef.... ur tank might be a bit too small to accommodate 2 dwarf angels..

    5. 1 Maroon Clownfish or 3-4 common clownfish
    maroon clowns are very territorial.. not just to its species, but to other fishes as well.. i rather u go for common clowns

    some starfishes eats algae off the rocks.. u might want to specify which species u talking abt.. if i remember correctly, blue starfish is reef safe (need to check my compatibility list again..sorry.. will let u know again)

    featherduster worms are fine..
