Hey there one and all!
After having a reasonable amount of success with a 140 I am considering the challenge of a small hex - 30 or 32 gallons, I think.
Right now it is housing a few freshwater fish, so I need info on what I will need to "convert" it to salt. I would also like suggestions on what types of animals would be most suited for a small tank.
I've seen several seemingly successful small tanks and am considering something like this:
Live rock, for stability
1 or 2 small fish - clowns, gobies, blennies
Soft corals - mushrooms, yellow polyps, star polyps
An anemone, particularly if I go with clowns
A shrimp, small clam, snails, hermit crab, nice looking macro algaes.
I know it is necessary to keep the bioload down, but I don't know which types of animals would be best / worst.
Any suggestions / advice would be welcome. I'm all for doing it right the first time.
