Starting a 20 gallon this saturday ADViCE AND TIPS WELCOMED

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
1. yes. mexican usually just means they aren't the black turbos.. i dont know why they can't call them brown turbos but w/e :D

the watchman and the firefish might fight.. and the blenny is going to have a hard time unless you add a BUNCH more LR

otherwise you should be fine
2x clownfish
1 firefish
1 green clown goby
1 midas blenny
1 yellow watchman

kinda pushing a heavy stock, but witht the filtration i think it'll be ok.. also once the LR is added that'll help too


the lights.... would be fine for that anenome, but why would you want a condy? they don't host anything....
 
ive got the same nova extreme but its a 48 inch long for my 55 gallon tank and i cant keep it from getting my tank above 80 degrees i keep it on for like 9 hours or so but i would like to keep it on for like 11 or 12 hours to grow my corals and anenomes any ideas?????????
 
i dont want that many fish i just want like atleast 4 cool ones..if i could keep my 2 blue damsels and add 2 clown fish when i add the live rock would be cool...iwill do more research on the anemones
 
that stuff on the sand just looks like red algea grew over it and broke in half in the current.. adding a powerhead or two will take care of the whole problem

as far as the fish go, i'd rather have more more color in there than just a pair of damsels and a pair of clowns, but if your fine with that, they will work together
 
cause there's 2 fish fighting over one rock ;)
 
all the algae is gone thanks to the snails..i found one of them climbing into my protein skimmers output. i heard it making a weird noise and i found him close to being inside the protein skimmer. I have a smaller snail do they get bigger quick?
 
what kind is it again?

i've had my turbo for about 5 months now.. i think.. and the line on his shell where's he was when i bought him is about 1/2-3/4'' away from the new egde so they grow kind quick... for a snail
