My Second Attempt.
Still in the process of getting more corals. However, due to in-built light fixture, i can only get low lighting corals. sadly... 40watts florascent light for a 2.5ft tank.
full tank shot for the time being. hope to get blue streak wrasses, scarlet skunk cleaner, and more corals/anemones. but anemones require high intensity light, i wonder if my lighting can cause the anemones to last. hope you like my noob setup. thanks for taking time to read it! |

It seem like isn't a good idea to stock so many fishes in a 2.5ft tank? Or is it i'm wrong?
Anyway nice tank |

40W fluoroscent is insufficient for anemones. You would need it to replace it with at least high output T5s and to use at least 4 tubes.
Skip the bluestreak wrasse, their record in captivity is very poor and best left in the oceans. Most will just die of starvation in typical aquarium settings.

One thing i learned from my failed experience.. never stock so much in such a small tank.. just 1 live stock die it will warp out the whole tank in a day.. i think that blue fish and that butterfly will outgrown the fish tank.. anyway nice tank they don't fight? my ex bi-colored and clownfish pick on each other whole day..

So far it has been good. This is quite an active piece that pecks at rocks quite often, and soon after intro to tank.
Not all butterfly do, so far this has been reef safe. Quote:
