Should I buy a carpet?? Which one??

[Crinkleinthecar]

Hi all I'm new to this forum and was wondering if you could give me any advice on carpets. I have a mini maxi at the moment and am thinking about a carpet that my skunks (orange) will host. Any advice pros/cons? Thank you:lolspin:

How much experience do you have in this hobby? Can you give us some details about your tank? Maybe some pics too

Hi I have been reef keeping for two years my tank is 630l with a 170l sump. I have a mini maxi in there, lighting is 3 LED aquaray xg 1500 tiles, 4 t5s, 4 aquaray 600 LED strips. My parameters are: PH: 8 KH: 9.8 Cal: 440 MG: 1480 Phos: 0.03 Nitrate: 10 (high due to over feeding, am addressing this before I consider a nem - they are usually consistent at 2) Temp: 26.3 Salinity: 1.024. Hope this helps as a start I'll upload some pictures for you

What type of "carpet" ?

My experiences are with S. haddoni -- been keeping them for 15+ years now -- think they are great, and fairly hardy once you find a healthy one, which can be tricky.

However, the more I keep them the more I think they should be in a species only tank - with clowns. There is just too much of a risk of them eating other fish.
