Nemo Compability

I take what I wrote back, you don't have undergravel filter, my mistake. I hope you clown fish will make it. If I were you, I remove most of the damsel out of the tank and keep the clowns and possibly the yellow tail blue damsel. They are the least aggressive of the damsels. Why not just add fish that you really like and don't have damsels? If you really like damsels, then you will not have a peaceful tank.

Good luck
 
Your rock design looks great first off.

More things to think about tho. Clownfish/damsels get more territorial as they get older. Many of us have had them attack us.

Your long term odds are not good and that's generally the goal.

Another thought, how long has this tank been set up?
 
Ditto on the rock work. I like the look.

Another issue is the sun polyps. This is a nonphotosynthetic coral and will need daily feeding to keep it alive and well. Another thing to watch for with the nitrates.
 
thanks everyone
this my first tank is 2 month old,i just start a new hobby.
so,if you want to tell me that i am not proffesional,you're completely right


one of my friend suggest me to keep damsels.he says damsels are the best bet for newbie with limited equipment.

if i remove all of my damsels,what kind of fish that i can keep?

i hope you can understand my bad english
 
Personally, I'd take all the fish back and read up in the "New to the Hobby" section and then make an informed decision on what you want. That way you can make sure your tank is cycled properly.

One thing in saltwater, nothing happens fast but it's so worth the wait.
 
I don't think your tank is ugly. I think you did a great job on the rockwork. As for fish that would go well in a tank that size, plus good corals for a tank that size, you can go to liveaquaria.com & look at their Nano Fish section. They have decent guidelines on each page giving the fish's feeding needs, aggression, and tank size. You'll usually want to keep maybe 4 small (adult size small) peaceful fish in that small of a tank for the best results (longer, healthier lives for the fish).

The lighting you have will be the biggest factor to determine what kinds of corals you can keep, then their feeding requirements. Liveaquaria also gives an expert to beginner level on the fish & corals. You don't have to buy from there, but it gives a good idea of requirements plus pictures so you can decide if you like the fish or not.
 
For a reef tank, I recommend a deeper sand bed. IMO, for beginner (I still use it) deep sand bed offer the most stable tank. There are minor disabantage, but once you are no longer a novice, and if you want to use a bare bottom tank, then you can at that time.
I second SushiGirl recommendation on checking Liveaquaria Nano Fish selection.

The Sun coral need daily target feeding to do well, no light is needed but it will do fine under bright light.
Your Elegance coral also should do OK but will do better with feeding. Here in the US Elegance coral often get infection with shipment and they are only rarely available disease free.

How much light do you have on your tank?
 
I agree with the above your tank looks nice. I really likely the way you got your rock. Looks like you are on the right track by the number one thing Asking others for advice. It's up to you if you follow it but at least you will know.

Live aquaria will be a good guide for you to see the different fish and temperaments.. Also shows minimum tank sizes. You could also do a google search on native fish to you as it seems to me you are from where a lot of our reef fish come from. If you don't mind me asking where are you from.

It would be good to post up also what lights you are using to get some advice on what corals will do best under them. Good luck and you are doing a great job on the English I don't have any trouble understanding what you are saying. :-)
