willgr1 Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 so my tank is all ready to be stocked, finally. i'm curious, is it better to add the fish first, or stock the tank with corals first? also, i have a purple firefish coming in at work for my 5 gallon, but i also have these two sweet looking pearly jawfish, they have been paired since they came in two weeks ago and get along great. i want to say the 3 fish be too much of a bio load on the tank. would i be correct? also, the jawfish hide under a rock all day, if i got them would they eventually come out and swim around? i have like 8 lbs of live rock, at the moment i'm running a hob canister but i'm planning a fuge in the next few weeks.

RegalFlush17 Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 I would say that you should not add a fish not neccesarly because of the high bioload for that tank, but because that is too many fish in a 5g system. The refugium would not help the bioload as much as a protein skimmer would. Link to comment
