Reef Fish?? Where to start? Empty Reef Fish?? Where to start?

Post by Coldwave21 Wed Jan 06, 2010 11:07 pm

Can I get some help on picking out some fish? I really thought it was going to be fun to pick fish out by looks, but as I am sure everyone finds out that is NOT the case! Haha will they fight? Will they eat coral? Etc... I have a 58 gal tank, 406 watts of lighting ( actinic and daylight 15000k ) 600gph koralia powerhead, 550 gph return, 20 Gal sump, live rock, pink tip anemone, scooter blenny, diamond goby, emerald crab, and 2 black percula.... I do want to get corals and more anemone's but would also like a nice stock of fish... Please help! Reef Fish?? Where to start? Lol

Kole tang is about the only one you can get for that size tank. Do you have a top on your tank ?

here is a compatablity chart that should help you out.

With what you have you could get like some tangs,chroims,cardinals,there is a bunch of stuff. But do yo like the look of more fish or corals? some people dont like the fish and just the coral and visa versa it really al depends on what you are looking for.

I would like to plan on corals more so than fish but fish are always good too! I was told this would be a good tank to start with but after only a month or two have learned I am going to out grow it FAST! ha
