new guy, soon to buy 80L tank

[foge]

hi guys, im new to this so sorry if i ask any stupid questions. i have worked at the sealife centre though so i have a fair idea on whats what but my question is, how many nano fish, as shown on this site, can i put into an 80L tank that i am soon to buy?

 

and also how much live rock is needed,?

 

and is live sand recomended ?

 

many thanx,

check this out.

 

also, is that 80 litres? if so how many gallons is that?

80L = 21.1 Gals

well if 80 L is 21.1 gallon then, 4 fishes would be okay depending on what fishes, 5 would be pushing it. You would need about 1.5 lb. of live rock for every 1 gallon of water, which is around 30ish, i'd go with 35, as for live sand, if you want a deep sand bed you will need about 2 inches from the bottom, and a regular sand bed is about 1 inch. I am not a professional at all so check twice on all the numbers.

thank you very much for your help. the tank i will be getting is a BUMT50 - MT50 Aquarium by AQUAWORLD

 

here is the link if you feel like a look http://www.aquaworldlimited.co.uk/acatalog...u_MT_Range.html

 

the fish i was thinking about placing into my tank were, a red firefish, a purple fire fish, a six line wrasse and a black and white ocellaris clownfish. will these be ok in my tank ?

 

also what about inverts, do you have any recomendations? i'd love a hermit crab.

 

thanks again
