Journey's journey into SW Aquaria

[journey0820]

Thanks for all your help Grins, I really appreciate it. Perhaps we should start a fund to help pay for all of the time you spend helping everyone on here! An aquarium fund!

It looks like maybe I need another nano koralia...? I will have the first one arrive tomorrow.

I'm paying back for all the help I've been given and still get.


A nano might be OK, but if you want SPS in there you might even grab a #2

ooohhhhh a number @!!! Now that is exciting. Can I just mention that my LFS manager told me that the one Koralia was too much for that size tank! I think overkill was the word he used. GRRRRR.

 

[Grins]

lol, from everything I've heard most that bought a #1 wished they had gone to a #2. And I wonder what the manager thinks is a good minimum flow for a reef and how to achieve it.

I cant view the pics cos the network guys at work have stopped us from viewing stuff uploaded to places like photo bucket What size tank is it? I have 2 Koralia nanoa and a Koralia 1 in my 25 gallon

Looks like your journey is turning into an adventure. Hope it turns out well.

Thanks...I'm at about $850.00 now with tank, filter, skimmer, lights, powerheads, LR, LS...and all the odds and ends. It is expensive indeed. My partner built the stand for me so no cost there at least. I'm hoping the hours I spend in front of it will save me money at the mall, movies, dinner, etc. Yup, that's what I'm clinging on to.

So, I'm planning ahead (as I do). What kind of fish would you all recommend for my 25 tall. It shall be a reef tank most importantly. Fish come second.

Of course, I want a clown fish. After that, I'm at a loss. There are so many that I love. I would like to get fish that prefer different zones of the tank...I wonder who would be an "upper" swimmer? (Other than those too big but oh so cute porcupine puffers.)

I like that blenny with the big eyelashes and several of the gobys. (My sand is more like gravel on the upper most surface so I'm not sure if sand sifters would be able to work it.)

What others might you all suggest and how many? I'm guessing no more than 3...?
