questions about carbon and live rock and such

Pharmtekbobby · Apr 3, 2004

I have a 30 gal tank with an eclipse 2 hood. The lighting is 10000k bulb and a marine-glo 15w actinic bulb. The fliter is built in and I am loaded with a nice setup of live rock, and crushed coral with live sand on top of it. Will i need a carbon filter in the filter, or will it be allright without it? What Fish would be suitable in a tank of this size? I looking for smaller fish, like gobies, pseudos, clowns, and the like.

Thanks for your help...you guys rock!

Carbon has its uses, like dealing with toxins from soft corals or yellow stuff in the water, but it's not really necessary in a FOWLR tank.

I am always a big fan of a pair of clowns in a tank that size. Smaller species like ocellaris, percula or skunks, or even mid-size species like tomatoes will be great. Buy two babies, and you should end up with a pair.

But I like pseudochromis and gobies, too.
