purple firefish, banggai both IMO are boring LOL, had them & didn't like them.

i don't like banggai fishes, they're just not that cute , i like the fish that scooter linked you .

 

[Reeferdude]

Shrimp seem to disappear around those Banggai Cardinals too.. That assessor is awesome!

 

[carlos_fb]

Well I noticed that the Banggai Cardinal is not very popular here LOL but I really like the fish so I am going to give it a try.

That Blue Assessor looks awesome, does anybody have any experience with them?

Keep the fish suggestions coming!

uhh dood, have you thought about a mimic lemonpeel tang ?
they look freaking awesome !!! ..you'd need a bigger tank later when he gets older but seriously they look so freaking pretty that i wish i could keep one .

Very pretty fish Gaby, I still have to decide what Tang to get but it's going to be the last fish added to my tank.

By the way, I always liked the Flame Angelfish but I've heard that the nip at corals, is that true?

 

[carlos_fb]

I was wondering if there is any kind of star fish that is reef safe? I think they are so cool looking.

I would think there are a few star fish that are reef safe. You may need to start a new thread to get more feedback though.

you never know but i've seen a few in reefs .
i'd go with a coral beauty if you really want an angel

many startfishes need a mature tank dood otherwise they just starve and die , i think for your tank if i was you i'd get a brittle starfish (again it needs a mature tank) but i'd make sure i feed it from time to time since the tank is new.

Congrats on the new set-up looks like your getting ready for the big $wipe out but it's well worth it 60g is a nice start I started with a 75g acyrillic.

I took a few pictures of the tank Tonight. Check out the one with the Cleaner shrimp eating the big piece of mysis shrimp.

New fish!

Tonight I went to check the only LFS around that I really like. They got a new shipment Today with lots of really nice stuff including a beautiful Sunburst Anthia. My wife was so excited about it that I could not resist so I bought it. I am setting up my QT Tonight to be ready for the new guy. :doubt:

I know it was very impulsive, I am terrible!

 

[Krish]

LOL!!! Don't feel bad Carlos! I'm the same way sometimes You'll be fine IMO.

BTW, the tank looks great!

 

[carlos_fb]

I would like some feedback on my new sump before I order it. Check it out.

 

[carlos_fb]

After reading a lot about Zoo's, I decided not to get any since I am not really comfortable with the idea of having Palytoxin in my tank.

I also decided to make my tank sps dominated so I was wondering which sps corals would be good to start?

 

[Krish]

Your sump idea looks good Carlos! Almost exactly how mine was and I had no issues. As for the SPS's, not sure which one to go with. I've never personally had SPS's

 

[carlos_fb]

Check out my new babies, sorry the pictures are not that great.
