    Clowns and anemones.

    in General Discussion

    well supposedly in the wild clowns are in small troupes

    made up of a heirarchy

     

    the biggest = female

    next largeest = breeding male

    then the decrease in size depending on social status.. they are all like drones and mooch off of the food and shelter from the anenome

    thanks yea i was debating whether or not i should use a sump because i dont understand the mechanics of it and everything

     

    does it also help with flow and current in the main tank...??

    i know its very beneficial just dont want anything to be toooo hard!!

     

    oooooo bad pistol... hmmmmm is there another shrimp that could be paired with a goby

    i have posted this on 3 other sites to get a variety of information but i thought id try my home town as well

     

    so here is my checklist!

     

    55-80gl tank includes stand and/or canopy may include lights - 200-700$ (at LFS)

    heater 20$

    LS 50-100$

    LR 300$ max (any good LR places i was thinking premium aquaics and fosters)

    Skimmer 250$ (any suggestions on a skimmer.. i dont know what im looking for)

    HO T-5 lights 280$

     

    (approx 1,700)

     

    Live stock

    2 small clowns (ocs, percs, or tomatos)

    1 tiny hippo tang- (if it is suitable in my tank) other wise a powder brown/blue tang or yellow tang

    3 gobies- orange stripe prawn goby/black barred convict goby/gold line goby

    1 wrasse (6-line? any other nice ones?)

    2 firefish (purple or regular)

    1/2 either/or/both coral angel beauty or flame angel

     

    1 pistol shrimp

    2 cleaner shrimp

    snails- mexican turbo/ trochus/ cerith

    peps?

     

    approx 290$ according to fosters. mayb more

     

    so approx total around 2000$$

     

    i showed that too my mom and she nearly had a heart attack

     

    im debating the hippo tang

    i might get more gobies

    any other nice easy fish that i could keep?!

     

    also if i get HO T-5 lights what kind of coral/inverts can that host... is it too weak for anenomes.. i dont need one and prefer not to have one.. and i hear clowns will host in just about anything

     

    btw- i have a 200gl bucket of salt

    refractometer

     

    add food on the list

    and more testing supplies

     

    im also trying to see if i can get a deal from my LFS for the tank lights skimmer stand heater for 1,000

     

    Oh and i have a 10gpd RO unit

    i bought it for my horses (dwarf seahorses!!)

     

    thank you for reading this extrodinarily LONG post

     

    ANY SUGGESTIONS AND HELP IS ALWAYS APPRECIATED
