FIRST SALTWATER TANK (ADVICE)
- Thread starter FuriousFish
- Start date
Coral catfish... hmm they are pretty but they are often hit or miss, some individuals do well, others not. Although, be extremely careful with them, all coral catfish have a venom barb/spine, which could inflict damage. Otherwise they are pretty neat, do well in groups.
And about dwarf angels, I'm not familiar with these, best leaving an answer to someone else, but I know yellow tangs are usually hit and miss, but in a large tank like yours, I don't think they'd be that aggressive.
And last note, congrats on exploring the dark side, you'll be glad you converted.

I'd look at the yellow tang last, just like a six line wrasse, if you add it last it won't be a problem.

Ok thank you. Do you guys think live rock is a good thing i REALLY want one of thos tanks that you can be looking at for hours and things just like kinda "APPEAR" out of the rocks ya know what i mean but filling a 180 with live rock is NOT in my budget... Any other types of rocks i could use

Yes live rock is vital to a healthy system, if you're concerned about price, buy dry rock/dead live rock, which is a lot cheaper and will become 'live' after a couple months. And what you're saying about looking at a tank for hours, thats a matter of aquascaping, which doesn't necessarily mean that you need piles of live rock. Try using moderate spaces between clumps of rocks, or try overhanging ledges with the rock. Good luck!
I have a question, Do you know of any youtube videos or pictures on good aquascaping tutorials??? That would point me in the right direction cause in my freshwater tanks i just can NOT get a good scape in any of them and i really want this to be a "Showpeice" tank...

I would stay away from Clown gobies you would be surprised how tiny those guys are also I would add clowns first, not chromis's( they aren't that hardy) also consider doing only 1 angel, perhaps a large down the road
