Reef Fish research

Pauli · 09-20-2006, 08:49 AM

Hi. I am trying to do some research on what fish to add to my still barren tank, except for some clean up crew. Are there any sites or places that you suggest that will help me in deciding what to put in my tank?

I want to put SPS in it eventually but am in the process of adjusting the Ca content and money is getting tight. It is set up and cycled, so I think that I will put a few fish in it right now. Any suggestions? It is a 156 gal with plenty of light.

Edit: I will try to find some of those that are already posted.

how long has the tank been setup? i waited 4 months before putting fish in my tank. mainly because i had a lot of vacations i was going to go on and i did not feel i could fatten up my fish for a several day vacation.

do not rush into fish. if a bad choice is made it may be extremely difficult to correct.

yeah, go to all the fish seller's sites and read, copy/paste or print out all of the info they list on the particular fish and then compare them 'apples to apples' then look into compatibility of 'apples to oranges, pineapple, grapes and raspberries'

The tank has been up since July 4 weekend. Everything appears to be stable. I had to get a new Ca test because the older Salifert test was giving me very low readings. The new one gives me readings about 100ppm higher.
