GioReef Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 this looks promising. what are your stocking plans, anything in particular? Link to comment
Andynco Posted January 13, 2012 Author Share Posted January 13, 2012 OK, stocking wise: I'm thinking... Yellow Tang some kind of Tang, maybe a blue tang (if it won't outgrow the tank). I could sell it later if it gets too big. 2 Clowns, I really want the mixed color, like 1 black and 1 normal will they work together? Red Scooter Blenny, eating prepared foods Melanurus wrasse Mandarin, but I don't have a fuge. Yes, I know the scooter and mandarin eat lots of pods! I would wait like 6 months to a year These are not final, i am vary open minded give me ideas! I have to have a tang on my mom's request and clowns, scooter blenny . Are there any other wrasse that are cool now CUC whats good for my tank! I do have some from my 14 biocube but tell me what I need for this 90 my mom wants a nem a RBTA I am going to run 6-54w t5s I am sticking to LPS and soft maybe lower light sps more pics to come!!!! stand sanded my berlin system cleaned up Link to comment
urbaneks Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Lots of work still ahead. Keep up the good work. I'm sure this will be a great setup. Link to comment

Andynco Posted January 13, 2012 Author Share Posted January 13, 2012 Can some one help me with a clean up crew on this bad boy! Are reefcleaners.com packs to big? Link to comment
siwelk Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 What's your definition of too big? If requesting 10 ceriths and getting 32 isn't 'too big', then no. Link to comment
Andynco Posted January 13, 2012 Author Share Posted January 13, 2012 like when i mean to big like too many and will starve Link to comment
GioReef Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Just talk to John at reefcleaners, he'll answer all your questions about cuc. You should order from there when the time comes... great service and you always get extras! Link to comment
Andynco Posted January 13, 2012 Author Share Posted January 13, 2012 both doors almost done Link to comment
siwelk Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 like when i mean to big like too many and will starve I'd either contact Reefcleaners directly or order a ready pack 1/2 your tank's size. Link to comment
iball1804 Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Yes, compensate for the extras John always sends. I recently, feeling quite greedy, ordered a quick crew from ReefCleaners. Advertised as 10 dwarf Ceriths, I got literally 150. No joke. Link to comment
