My 18 gallon saltwater tank

[Kurt-Inge]

I djust set up my first saltwater tank some days ago, so here it is, live rocks. stacked 2 towers, the biggest tower got 2 big openings the fish can swim trou.
im not shure what fish i gona have, but think 2 Ocellaris Clownfish, and some other smal fish.
but i realy want a Fuzzy Dwarf Lionfish also hehe, or a Zebra Lionfish, they are recomended 30gallon+ but think it will do ok in my loongtank
but if i get a dwarf lionfish i dont think i can have the clownfishes? will it eat them when it grow full size?
becouse i want some colors in the tank and dont get mutsh colors with only one lionfish alone in the tank, so if i have to keep it alone in the tank i probably go for 2 clowns and some other litle clown sized fishes..

i found some bether looking live rocks so i used instead of the other ones, the old ones i think vere dead anyway, and i dont want to blend them into my new ones becouse the old stones dont fitt in becouse they look so difrent, but i gona buy more of this type of rock later when i go buy more fish, now i only got 2 Clarkii Clownfish.
i like the clean look so not gona get alot more rocks, maybe 2-3 more.

Nice tank, im just starting up a 15g nano reef. I was gonna go with ocell clowns but i think im gonna go with clarkii clowns instead.

 

[Kurt-Inge]

ye do that but they get bigger than the ocellaris, but i dont mind that, i were supose to buy the ocellaris clowns but they dident have them in atm so i bought the Clarkii Clownfish instead, Clarkii Clownfish is one of the hardiest clowns so probably nice for a fresh started tank, i only waited 1 week, then i got them, couldent wait for months for the tank to get rdy hehe, but now they will help make the tank safer for the rest of the fish i gona add later.
Here is a nice page u can read about the difrent fish:

My stock list is 2 clarkii clowns
2 firefish
1 orange lined cardinal
1 chalk bass
and maybe 2 neon gobies

Do you think this will be over stocked? for a 15 gallon tank.

I re-searched Clarkii's and minimum tank size is a 30 gallon, so i cant get them.

hi curt nice picture but before you start buying fish you should get a ermald crab to start your live rock off. and the only other thing to remeber with loinfish is anything they can get in their months they will eat so choose your fish carefully. i have 75 gallon tank with zebra loinfish ,yellow tang and koran empiere all the same size fish for the most part good luck looks like a nice start

if u want them u can get them but ocellaris will probably be best choise for 15gallon.
i dont got 30 gallon but think they do fine anyway.
dont know anything about the other fish u talked about, but fire fish i also planing on getting
