So I've had my 187 gallon running for about 4 years now (had difficulties for the first 2 years). The tank has been doing weel for a while, with little nitrate (less than 5 ppm), no ammonia, and no nitrite. I have about 200 lbs. of live rock (it's a tall tank), Caulerpa prolifera on some of my sandbed, a 30 gallon refugium (grape caulerpa), and a 2 inch deep crushed coral/live sand bed (I mixed the 2). I also have a 50 gallon sump on the tank. By the way, I have damsels, but they are peaceful, not going after anything because they are in a school. I want some suggestions for tankmates. Here's the current stocklist:
1 Bicolor Angelfish (had him for 2 years now, eats flake from my hand!)
1 PJ Cardinal (had since day 1, he was sold as a damsel, all his cardinal friends were eaten by my old niger trigger)
5 Yellow tailed blue damsels (had about a month now)
3 Smithi Damsels (bought with the yellow tailed blues)
1 Royal Gramma (had over a year)
2 True Percula Clownfish (they've laid eggs before, and are 3 years old)
lots of hermits
lots of astraea snails
lots of Discosoma, ricordea, and Zoanthids.
I know I want to add:
1 Sailfin Tang
1 Yellow Tang (added at same time as sailfin)
1 Fairy Wrasse (probably Lubbock's)
2 Blue Throat Triggerfish (a mated pair)
1 Seagrass Filefish (had one before and he was amazing! Unfortunately, he jumped out.
)
How does this sound?
