Whats a good rule of thumb for stocking a mini-reef system?
there really are no RULES when it comes to stocking a tank but there are some guidelines to follow first it bepends what corals you’d want to have and what other inverts (anenomes, crabs, shrimp, snails, etc) then what kind of tank it is, predator reef, classic tank, themed tank, etc.. inverts typically don’t add much bioload to a tank and the filtration needed to keep the water clean enough generall makes up for their wastes plus that of fish charges… the only ‘rule’ would be that their is enough space between them so they don’t touch and go into chemical warfare with eachother… in a 100 gallon tank you ould easily have 2 BTA for your clowns to switch between.. as well as other corals (depending on your lighting of course) what kind of fish/inverts/corals were you considering? if there’s any specific ones you know you’d want i could help you design the tank around them… as always feel free to email me anytime you’d like… ok tom she is obviously NOT like you, and more like me L
