Hi, I have had my reef tank up and running for a while now, lots of live rock, water quality excellent. Currently have 3 firefish, 2 damsels, 2 coral goby, 2 common clown and 3 cardinals in there. I now want to add a few larger display type fish - Any suggestions on stunning, colourful...

THis is getting more confusing by each post! I thought this was going to be a simple question and you'd all come back with the same answer, well I suppose you have - there aren't many non-aggressive fish!!

Must admit first time I'd heard that Clowns were so aggresive. If, as I've read, it's best to add the least aggressive/territorial fish first, then maybe I should leave the clowns til later. Any suggestions on fish that are less aggressive/territorial? Firefish? Damsels (have read certain...

Thanks for the advice, will probably just go for a very young pair of tank bred common clowns to start of with and give it a few weeks before adding some more fish

Thanks for the above. Tanks been mature for quite a while now, Live Rock and crab's only been in there for about 2 weeks and waters now good quality and stable. So bearing in mind all this - at the outset how many fish can I put into a 5 x 2 x 2 tank at once ? Should they all be the same type...

Thanks for this, had been told something similar from a guy at a pretty good shop - especially if the clowns are tank bred. My biological system has been up and running for quite a while now, live sand has been in there for about a month and live rock and crabs about 2 weeks. So pretty...

Had my 130 gallon reef tank going now for a few weeks, included live sand and live rock and water quality is good and has been stable for over a week now. The only inhabitants I have in there are a few Algae crabs. This coming weekend I intend to put some fish into the tank and wanted some...

Thanks for the comments - think I'll try and go the same sort of route and just take things slowly with getting the livestock in there.

Seriously ?!?!? What about the substrate will that not need to be boiled clean ? And the rocks or will any algae on them just die off ? If this is true, this will be a lot easier than I'd first imagined - although to be honest I couldn't think of any logocal reason why the water could not be...

I have previously kept a Marine Reef system for about 18 months, but had to give that up when I moved abroad. I have been back into fishkeeping for about the last 6 years now and I currently have a 5ft x 2ft x 2ft (100 gallon) Tropheus tank. I have 2 large externals, 2 heaters and good lighting...
