Tank thoughts.

[r6mason]

I have a 100 gal and 150 LBS. of live rock onj the way. I want to have 1 chocolate chip star fish, 1 flame angel, 1 hippo tank, 2 clownfish, and 2 foxface rabbitfish.


Do you think this would work? I am going to see how the starfish works out and maby get a rose bubble tip anemone.

sounds great but not 2 foxface. I have one and I love it, they are awsome but they do not get along together unfortionatley. The hippo tang will get white spot so unless you want to get bothered by that then don't get it. I know it is hard to start up a tank but think about not putting too much burden on the tank, I have heard that white spot can be a pain.

Chocolate chips are predators, and will consume much of the encrusting life on your rock, and threaten corals and anenomes. If it's not too late, either cancel that order, or plan on putting the star in a sump.

Anenomes shouldn't go in 'new' tanks, and you'll need to research lighting and feeding needs prior to purchase. IMO, they don't belong in most setups. The clowns certainly won't need one to be happy and healthy.

In terms of tangs--get a quarantine setup going, and then use it.

i have a hippo tang that i bought from inland aquatics. after a quaratine, i have not had any problems with it getting ich. the first one i had was an ich magnet, but with the right setup, i think they are great fish!!!

yea, i love the blue tangs so if you can fix the white spot problem then get one! I wouldn't think that putting an anemone if until the tank is atleast 4 months old is reccomended. If u do it before then you are just compremising it's health and it will probebly die. GOOD LUCK and keep us posted
