Well the tank is starting to look good. I added about 40 more lbs. of LR to the display and also a few more kinds of macro algae. I am looking for as much macro algae as possible to make this a "planted" tank. Unfortunately, its hard to find a wide variety of macro algae so far. J&L pretty much just had the usual suspects. Anyone who has any ideas of where I can pick some up, please let me know.
I am also looking for stocking ideas...So far this is what I have in the tank:
Porcupine Puffer
Green Spotted Puffer
Long Nose Hawkfish
Carpenters Flasher Wrasse
Yellow Tail Damsel
I was thinking of a Flame Angel and maybe a few Anthias but Im really not sure. All I know is, no tangs and no fish that get over 6" because I want the Porcupine to be the biggest fish in the tank and hes looking like he may not be a huge porc. His growth is really slowing down now that hes about 6". I figure he will most likely reach only about 10" which I guess is pretty common for them in captivity. Anyways, fish ideas would be great!
I also have another decision I have to make...Do I keep my Snowflake Eel? Right now he is in another tank by himself but the goal is to have only one tank. Im very hesitant to keep him in this new tank because he is getting so big and he really makes a mess of the sandbed and rock work. I love this eel but he can be a bit of a pain. The other problem is that he is very aggressive and my Hawkfish is quite small still. Im worried that the eel will eat any small fish I want to keep in the tank...
