Redfish
Peacock Mantis Shrimp
Now that the new Chalice tank is soon to be on its way to me ,, a 48x24x15 ,, this tank will be a stand alone tank ,, its not going to be tied into my so called ,, SPS display tank ,, I am wanting to make a plan on the fish that will be going into it ,, the plan is ,, I have no plan ,, all my want to have looker fish will be going into the SPS tank ,,
The lighting over the Chalice tank will be two Radion XR15 G4 Pros ,, my research says the Chalices would do best with a Par number ,, say in the 115 range ,, my research shows ,, some keep their Par number in the 100 to 125 range for good chalice growth ,, that's how I came up with the 115 number kinda in the middle ,, with very little light in the white spectrum ,, maybe for a hour or so during the day ,,
The reason for telling you all this light info is ,, the plan is to keep the light in the Blue Spectrum mostly ,, was not sure if this mostly blue spectrum lighting would effect advice when it came to fish choices ,, this tank won't be set up as a Chalice frag tank ,, I am planning a sand bed,, a rock scape ,, CUC will be mostly snails ,, a Nassarius snail or two at some point ,, a Conch or two at some point ,,
I am not really wanting to make this a fish display tank ,, but have always read ,, corals and systems ,, do better with fish in it ,, about the only fish I was planning was a small Yellow Tang at some point to help with algae control ,, the only other fish I would like to have would be a Naoko's Fairy Wrasse ,,, only because I have read ,, from several sources ,, this fish is better off being the only Wrasse in a tank ,, this tank might just be the place for it ,, just a thought ,,
So ,, what other fish should I be planning for this tank ,, I don't want to over do it ,, would like to keep it at a minimum ,, but I want a healthy system ,,
