DB's 29gal

Green Chromis are also a very safe and peaceful addition. You can have multiples and they tend to school and stay higher in the water column. I don't remember why, but I've heard it's best to keep them in odd numbers, like a school of 3 or 5 unless you have a lot of them.

You're rollin' the dice with a 6-line. If you get one, make sure it is your last fish because it is possible he'll terrorize anything that comes after him. I'll never own another one.

P.S. The tank is lookin' good!!!

This is very true, but most people don't realize that chromis actually get pretty big. So going this route would be ok in the short term but a tank upgrade in the future would be in order.

To make life easier for you Dan I would just stick to smaller fish such as certain blennies and gobies. The clowns are ok, I hope they don't overgrow your tank, as they could. I had fish in my 30L when it was stocked and had a pair of clowns, a purple firefish, flametail blenny, yellowtail damsel, and at one point I had a clown goby in there. I also had a pair of peppermints in there but never again will I put peps in my display. Of course that's my opinion and point of view, because they terrorized my corals and stole food from them all the time.

I agree cubbies -I rather stay on the smaller/peaceful size due to space and have more inhabitants that push the envelop. Tank upgrade is def in the future (100g cichlid conversion) but that's 1-2yrs down the road. I've done alot of research (pretty every day for the last 2 months lol) but you can only 'read' so much in books etc about the 'recommendations' that's why I'm trying to incorporate others' personally knowledge and experience.

I have a shroom like yours but they are closed up..I don't know why?

Alright - Some new Additions and Pics - Picking up abunch more SPS frags tomorrow

Near future plans: Drill the 29gal, and either put a 15-30gal sump, upgrade to Coralife Super Skimmer 65, and redo aquascape. New Filament Flasher Wrasse is doing great in QT and eating like a pig.
