Fluval Spec V Single Species Recommendations

Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

 

So I've recently picked up a Fluval Spec V...

Looking to make this a nano-reef (picking up a marine orbit this weekend)

However, I want to keep 1 fish & possible a blood / skunk shrimp.

Seeing what people think...

 

Here is a list of what I'd like:

 

1) Golden Midas Blenny (by far my favorite fish EVER for a nano)

2) Geometric Pygmy Hawk

3) Orchid / Neon Dottyback

4) Possum Wrasse

5) Tail Spot Blenny

 

So with this list I'd like some recommendations. Tank WILL have a lid. Obviously with the Midas blenny he'd be the only thing in the tank... But if it goes down to some of the other choices i'd like to get more than 1. A shrimp of some sort will of course be included as well as the regular clean up crew.

 

 

Thanks in advance and I can't wait to get some pictures up!

Tail spot or possum would be the only off your list I would consider.

 

I kept a small springer's damsel in mine for a while.

 

Long term, I would be aiming for more like a clown or neon goby size fish. I found that the nutrient level started to run away with just 1 fish in the tank, but I wasn't doing very frequent water changes, so depending on how often you want to do them, you should be ok.

Ninja I checked out your build! LOVE the light!!!! Guess you've had experience with the Spec :)

 

With Geometric/ & dotty only get to 2-3" max. as a single species tank with the proper filtration you don't think it'd suffice?

 

As the discussion continues I'm thinking TSB & a possum wrasse will be the best choice.

 

The Midas will just have to wait
