I’ve got two questions.. one, I can’t get any good pictures of my tank because the light interferes with my camera.. Any fixes to this?? Two is stock.. I have a 55G long aquarium with a 20G sump. I currently have as follows
X2 clowns
X2 blue/green chromis
X1 Royal Gramma
X1 Coral Beauty
And a few inverts (snails, emerald crabs, and pistol shrimp, couple corals)
I am going to get a green mandarin at some point in the near future once I can successfully supply its dietary needs. And a yellow watchman if I can ever keep them from getting into the sump 🙄… I want to add maybe a fire fish or 2 bangaii and be done! Is that way too much? All my current fish are happy and the CB just got out of QT and loves the tank! What do yall think?

I think your stocking list is appropriate. None of those fish get very big. The firefish and watchman will want hiding spots so just make sure you have enough to go around. And the mandarin needs lots of rock work to support the copepods. So as long as your tank is set up properly for each fish I say go for it.

I think I’m going to go with the two cardinals over the firefish. The mandarin I’m waiting to get until I’m sure I can supply its needs. I think I have enough rock work but I’ll do more research before purchasing.

I dosed pods once in my 55gal and waited about a month before I started seeing them on my glass. As soon as you see them on your glass and you have plenty of rock for them to live in your tank is ready. I moved to my current 175g, dosed pods and moved half my rock for a few weeks and moved him in. Then I dosed pods about 2x a month the first two months then 1x a month now. I only continue to dose because I have multiple pod eaters in my tank now. They also grow like crazy in my refugium.

To take pictures you need an orange lense which filters out the blue light. This is what I purchased and works great. Can clip on the back of your phone. https://amzn.to/3Do3A3P
Thank you!🙏 what about the stock? What is your opinion on that?
I think adding a mandarin and firefish or Bangaii would be fine. Watchman probably fine too. Just each time you add new fish see how the tank acts and then reasse what you think.
Okay. That’s what I’ll do. Back when I did freshwater years ago there was this inch per gallon rule or whatever. Apparently that’s all bogus now from what I’ve read🤷
And yes for sure! I’ve been stocking my tank over the course of 5 months now
