Regardless if I do end up getting an eel itll probably be a snowflake. maybe the owner got lucky and had an easy one. I havent had the ghost ribbon myself but I have second hand experience acclimating and feeding em. Ive been thinking alot about aquascaping recently and I suppose I may need to take the scape into consideration with lionfish and the puffer if I am wanting to keep any sps thatll be needing higher flow. I'll have to check out some of your previous posts, just got 70 pounds of dry rock for free, gonna get 40 pounds live rock when ive got everything put together. Perhaps a snowflake, but if it doesnt feel as though it is needed when the time comes Ill be fine foregoing it. May as well.Īs for the ghost ribbon eel I had it in my head that it was 2'4" on live aquaria, not 3'4". But they are doing the 75 gallon, nearly the same footprint. Was planning on getting an aqueon from petco during their sale and unfortunately they arent including the 60 gallon. My only thought was that it was dislodged, saw the movement and took his shot. Awesome big ol yellow warty, started on frozen and eventually got him to eat silversides. I had an anglerfish for a good while in college so i have experience with the predators. I was sorta hoping that you would reply to this thread! Definitely going to stay away from the mombasa and the fu, stick with the dwarf and dip my toes into the lionfish world. If you have any other questions about the build or plans for the tank, please do ask, thanks! Thinking about going with tampa bay saltwater live sand, should be fine for the dusky wrasse to burrow into, no? Is the bio load going to be bonkers on this tank, will have a fair bit of macro algae so that should help

Stocking order being something like flasher, hawkfish, puffer, dusky wrasse(wanting a more mature tank, waiting longer), maybe tang, maybe eel, lionfish? SO, from what I have read all of those fish are coral safe if not necessarily reef safe however I am not sure on the followning: Hawkfish would just be nice to watch rollin around on the rocks. As a kid our sunday brunch place had a FOWLR tank with triggers, a zebra moray, a spiny puffer and a big ol lionfish. Well, I am currently building a stand for a 60G tank! Nice! My previous tanks have been wrasse focused and i definitely would like a wrasse or two, but I have always loved puffers and lions. I have been looking at liveaquaria with my wife for the last few years dreaming about coming to a place in our lives where I/we can get back into the hobby. Tomini tangs are cool, but this is a 60 gallon :'(

Fish I have really been thinking about and believe should be fine, just not sure on how they will all get along:ġ Mombasa Lionfish/fu manchu/dwarf(just one, in order of preference, and availability)ġ blue spotted/spotted/central American sharpnose puffer (just one, in order of preference, and availability)ġ Dusky wrasse(had one of these in my last tank, by far favorite fish ive seen)Įither some flasher/fairy wrasse or a Halichoeres chrysus(had one of these in the past, loved it)įish that i would love, but feel free to talk me out of:
