new 28 bowfront

[jessie]

well i got a new 28 bowfront thats currently cycling. i should get a shipment of 45lbs of liverock on thursday. i plan on adding the 2 perc from my big tank to it when its done cycling. i have never had a tank any smaller than a 55 so im not real sure on what else i might be able to put in there. i have a couple cleaner shrimp and a porcelain crab going in also. i figure i will add a few purple mushrooms and some small ricordia that i have. is a 28 gallon bowfront capable of handeling any more fish? if so could i put a flame angel in there? i have a flame angel in the big tank as well, but he seems to nip at some of the corals from time to time. if it was suitable for him i will put him in the 28 too. if not is there any other fish you guys can think of that would go well? would maybe 2 firefish gobies be ok with the 2 percs? thanks for any help!

You might just let the clowns have the place to themselves. Or maybe something like a watchman goby, leaving the water column free for the clowns to romp.

well i added 45lbs of live rock from liveaquaria about 2 days ago. im gonna let it cure in there and i think ill take about 10lbs out. it just looks like theres no room in there now, plus i think the 135 could still use about 100lbs. theres already some pods swarming the base of the rock, i also put in 35 lbs of play sand and 9lbs of live sand from inland aquatics. i have seen several bristle worms aready. i put a black light on the tank tonight and turned all the other lights out. there is some really orange looking stuff in there with the blacklight, its kinda neat. i got some small pc lights to put on it but i dont think they are good for much, ill only have about 1 1/2 watts a gallon. talk some more when something cool happens.

ok now that the percs have stayed in the capped bulkhead of the large tank my fiance wont let me take them out and put them in the little one. the bowfront is sitting, cycling with about 45 lbs of live rock. is there and cool, unusual things that would go good for it? i now its to small for a cuttlefish, but thats the kind of thing i might be interested in. something you dont normally see. any suggestions? i ghought about just trying to get a large mantis but im afraid in a 28 i might not get the chance to see it much. come on morgunda you usually have some good suggestions. i loved my greenbanded goby, untill i made an unwise buy of a giant cup coral!!! :mad2 that was the last time i ever seen little toby!
