New to saltwater and need advice.

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Okay how bout
Passer Angelfish- 100 gallons, Max. Size: 1' 2", vegetable matter such as Spirulina, marine algae, meaty items, and high-quality angelfish preparations which include sponges. Feed at least three times daily.
Blue Line Grouper- 100 gallons, Max. Size: 1' 2", diet of meaty foods such as krill, shrimp, and other small fish
Richmond's Wrasse- 70 gallons, max size 7½" iet should include vitamin enriched frozen mysis shrimp, vitamin enriched frozen brine shrimp, and other meaty foods along with a high quality marine flake and marine pellet food.
Zebra Moray Eel- 125 gallons, Max. Size: 5', diet should include sizeable portions of meaty foods, fresh fish including clams, squid, scallops, and shrimp
Powder Brown Tang- 70 gallons, Max. Size: 8", will eat meaty foods along with the other fish in the aquarium, it is important that they are offered plenty of marine based seaweed and algae.
Halfmoon Triggerfish- 90 gallons, Max. Size: 8½", diet of meaty foods including; squid, krill, clams, small fish and hard shelled shrimp to help wear down their ever growing teeth
Can these six fish live together without killing each other?Also, what fish would you suggest removing because they cant live to maturity in a 125g?

Well done JIENKINZ. I commend you.

This looks almost acceptable to me. You are going to need a sump, a refugium, and some purigen with frequent large h2o changes, but with all that this might be possible in the long term.

Sometimes aggression issues are best just played out. Get all the fish small, and introduce them in as short a period of time as possible. (You dont want to shock your biofilter, but at the same time territoriality and aggression will not be as bad if it is done this way.)

If I was going to remove anything it would be the grouper or the angel fish. Groupers in my experience are usually pretty boring. My panther grouper that I have now is the first one I have ever had that spent most of his time out in the open. The eel might be another candidate for removal...some might say that such a fish deserved a species tank.

Okay the tank is coming with the sump and the refugium, however i dont know what a purigen is... also i agree with you, if I had to knock off a fish from this list it would be the grouper. However I really like the eel...
 
Purigen is a a chemical substance that removes ammonia nitrite nitrate and other things...heavy metals...it basically removes everything. Its also rechargeable. :D

read my mind, all i would add would be get a really good skimmer

also, you still haven't said what size you want to get the fish at
 
Yes you will have to scrub everything down that he has given you nice deal on the tank maybe in the future I may come across a deal. The search continues.
 
good luck man salt is the final frontear
 
then it sounds good, get the eel at like a foot though, good luck!
