Thinking of getting back in!

[jennystyyle]

Hello from SE Michigan!

 

I have been out for about 10 years.  I had a 92 gallon corner tank with MH lighting.   I used to propagate trade coral at swaps.  I am looking to get back, but at a much smaller scale.

 

I am looking at the Red Sea Nano Max Peninsula 26 gallon.

 

The following are my thoughts and I'd appreciate any comments or suggestions.   I haven't ordered a thing and I am very much a planner,  I was impulsive with my last tank, and don't want to be with this one.   As of yet so all creativity is welcome!

 

Tank - Red Sea Nano Max Peninsula 26 gallon of similar

 

Inverts:

Snails - I'd prefer small.  Best suggestions?

No Crabs!

Maybe 1 flame scallop

Maybe a feather duster or 2

2 shrimp.  I could do the typical cleaner shrimp but leaning toward fire shrimp

 

Fish - This is a list of what I'd like but I realize that I may have to make some cuts.  I am not worried about a budget for the right one

Clownfish.  I do NOT want Nemo.   I;m thinking maybe a Phantom or Black Storm

Maybe a cardinal - not sure what kind though or if I'll even get one

Helfrichi firefish

Hector's Goby

Blue Dot jawfish -  I am pretty solid that I'll get him

Maybe Royal gramma, for a splash of color

Mandarin Goby - but will be one of the last fish after the tank matures

 

Comments or suggestions?   I'd be happy to hear them!

 

Thanks!
