Puffer fish

Posted: 23 Jun 2021 07:34 PM PDT

I have a 100 gallon saltwater tank with reef fish, snails and crabs. I really want to get some kind of puffer fish. Is there any kind that does not eat invertebrates?

Give me your thoughts, ideas, suggestions, etc.

I posted this on reef2reef, but thought reddit might have some feedback for me too.

So if you look at some of my previous posts you'll see I had quite the problem with a marine velvet outbreak... I have been revamping my system. The entire system is being plumbed together... It will consist of a 90 gallon (mixed reef), trigger systems sump (I think 30 gallons), 120 gallon (primarily my macro algaes), 40 gallon (its all macros right now, but I think I'm going to make it an anemone tank), a 50 gallon frag tank, and a brute trashcan cryptic refugium (44 gallons I think). I have a 40 gallon brute tank with a float valve that my rodi fills. Then my auto top off does its thing. I switched from using multiple protein skimmers to one small one... I had much better results growing my macro algae doing this. My water is crystal clear and my chemistries are on point... My only qualm is that nitrates are undetectable. I'd like 10ppm, but no matter how much I feed my macros just do their thing. I have almost no micro algae growth. I've never done a water change and I don't plan to. I've lab tested (I have a contact in a clinical lab in a hospital who runs assays for me) for heavy metals and other bad things from feeding, etc. and I haven't had a problem from them. My feeding schedule currently, with the tank being

So currently my 90 gallon has been fallow (from fish) for 60 days. It's current stock is:

1 duncan
2 mushrooms
1 torch
1 hammer coral
1 some sort of polyps that showed up on a empty frag plug I accidently dropped in the tank
1 zoa
1 pencil urchin
1 cleaner shrimp
50000000000 ceriths... they breed like crazy
~ 5 emeralds.. I started with 2, but they seem to have bred
~150lbs of live rock
1 horribly sick looking anemone that has looked like its trying to die for months now that keeps splitting and producing very healthy looking anemones... No idea how or why, but I guess its cool.
A couple montis
1 digitata
An acropora that I have no idea what it's called

My plan is to begin adding fish mid July. I'm planning on adding these fish:

2 clowns
1 purple dottyback
1 engineer goby
1 lawnmower blenny
1 yellow or purple fish (my wife wants a purple and I want a yellow)

Any suggestions for further stocking?

My plan for the 120 gallon is basically to make it into a macroalgae refugium and clownfish harem (30 clowns ideally - I really don't know much about clownfish harems so any advice is appreciated). I may add some anemones that clowns naturally host along with my crazy growing macros. The macro algae that I currently have and will be transplanting to this tank are:

Caulerpa Prolifera
Rhipocephalus phoenix (Christmas Tree)
Codium
Grape Caulerpa
Halimeda (money plant)
Red Gracilaria
Flame Gracilaria
Shaving Bush
Ulva
Blue hyphnea

P.S. if anyone needs macro I can sell some for very low prices... Basically to pay for the food I go through to keep it growing... There is no such thing as over feeding my current system lol.

On a side note... I'm not sure what other macro fanatics experience is, but for me when I added all these macros their growth really took off. They actually out competed my chaeto (I kept chaeto separate in my trigger sump and it eventually just disappeared (and there was no way for it to escape that refugium and get sucked into the tank... I have marine pure blocks blocking it in).

So to finish things up with the 120g, I'd like to add some fish that won't bother my clownfish harem. I don't even know if this is possible. I'd like to add whatever tang I don't add to the 90, but I'm a little worried it will eat my macros :\ I think some chromis might be cool in there too.

The plan for the 40 gallon as of now is to turn it into an anemone tank. I'd like to make this bare bottom and have a couple pieces of live rock and as many anemones as possible along with a pair of clownfish... What other fish should I add?

The 50 gallon frag tank is a flood table I got for like $100 when my low boy cracked... I'll probably replace it with a truvu aquarium later this year, but the flood table works for now. What fishies should I add to the frag tank? Any other livestock ideas would be appreciated as well.

For the cryptic refugium... I'm not really knowledgeable on these. Is filling it halfway with live rock then throwing some sponges in there basically what I do? Should I throw some turbo snails, ceriths, or any other inverts in there too?

I'd appreciate any thoughts, suggestions, ideas, stocking tips, etc. If anyone has a sea pen I'll buy it. I'm also thinking about some gorgonians, feather dusters, etc. I'm really clueless on these guys, so any advice on them would be wonderful.

How much flow you got?

Posted: 23 Jun 2021 08:03 PM PDT

Im using a 1150 g/p/h powerhead in a 24g rectangle. There is what i would assume to be insane flow.

Is it too much? The clowns miss a bunch of food even if i feed a little at a time.

They seem to be swimming their asses off in all but 3 or 4 places in the tank so that seems fine.

Im bare botom looking to grow 1-3 sps and maybe a torch or 2.

Hey, newbie here. Will this be big enough for a clown goby?

Posted: 23 Jun 2021 10:28 PM PDT

Good flatworm or bad?

Posted: 23 Jun 2021 01:33 PM PDT

Some Awesome shots of my hairy green mushroom, the main one has grown so much since I first got it, almost covering most of the frag. Seems like it might be splitting soon too.

Drilling my first tank soon. Planning for dual return. Question is where to put the returns? I have a 75g DT with a 36" EMS overflow so I'm limited to 8" on each side.

How near the top should I drill my returns?

Whats this white stuff

Got some chaeto algae in, and this hitchhiker came with. Any idea what it is?

Let’s Talk About Food

Posted: 23 Jun 2021 01:14 PM PDT

Specifically, what do you feed and how much do you feed? I'm wondering if I'm feeding my fish too little? Currently I feed once per day, and have two 1.5"-2" clowns, and one 2.5" court jester goby.

My current strategy is to feed TDO pellets about 4x per week, and thawed reef frenzy about 3x per week. I try to give my clowns enough for about 6-7 pellets each, and for my court jester goby I try to get him about 4-6 pellets. Is this too light? Too heavy? About right? The fish seem pretty active and don't look pinched. I'm also trying to stay mindful of nutrients as I don't have a refugium or skimmer. My nitrates hover around 10ppm and last time I tested phosphates they were at .03. This is a new tank as well. Not yet mature. Wondering if I should look into some coral food as well to help out growth for them.

What are your feeding plans like? What size tank? What fish/inverts?

This guy came along with some things I bought from my LFS. Do you know what type of hermit it is?
