nano_MC_reef Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 my friend zach is tanking down his 300 gallon system and i have the honor of getting this large system. however he has sold off all the fish but he is willing to give me the rest of his system including the live rock and sand. so i have a bit of a dilemma. WHAT FISH CAN I PUT IN THIS THING?! Also i cant upload photos as i haven't been able to find my damn camera for like a week now so sorry to anyone hoping to see the system. Link to comment
Boggers Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Lots, but first few questions have to be. Fish only or reef? What kinds of fish do you like? after that you can pick out tangs, angels, wrasse, anthias, ect from there. Or if you want a shark/rays/lionfish and more of a predator setup Link to comment
nano_MC_reef Posted November 18, 2016 Author Share Posted November 18, 2016 i was thinking more of like a colorful tank. kind like a bag of skittles. and a full blown reef aquarium. Link to comment
RIP Sebastian Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 i was thinking more of like a colorful tank. kind like a bag of skittles. and a full blown reef aquarium. First, do your research and be sure you are capable of caring for such a large tank and are prepared for the investment. If you want colorful fish AND a reef tank, I'd look at Anthias and small harem of reef-safe wrasses. Link to comment
nano_MC_reef Posted November 18, 2016 Author Share Posted November 18, 2016 maybe i'll just go with a FOWLR tank so i can get some good fish in there Link to comment

A finger is fine. just not the whole shank. Link to comment
