View Full Version : Stocking a 33 Gallon
If you had a fresh start with a 33 gallon tank, what would you stock it with?
Once its cycled and stable of course.
I was thinking of a watchman goby and a bangaii cardinal to start.
It will be a lower light tank (2 bulb t5), so lots of corals to splash it up are out for now.

Two t5's in a 33 are more then sufficient for coral growth with decent bulbs, pretty much any LPS would be fine. My tank is only running 2 t5's

A pistol shrimp and goby pair would be cool...

Well... I am setting up a 33 reef too..
My list is hopefully going to be..
Pair of Picasso clowns
helfrichi firefish
bluespot jawfish
and maybe.... A fairy wrasse of some sort..
For lighting I am running a 6-t5 setup... but I can say I know many that are using 2-t5 and it works great for most soft and lps.
Goodluck

For my corals I have: tons of mushrooms, loads of zoas and palys, and a candy cane.
For lighting I started with PC's the moved to a 250W MH I found too strong so then bought a 4 bulb T5 fixture that is waiting on bulbs, so currently I'm on PC's for the moment.
For inverts I have 1 sea cuc, 1 pep shrimp, 3 idk shrimp, loads of hermits and snails
