In Your Experience What Is The One Fish You Would Always Get Again?

[Nonuser]

Some of us kept sps dominant tank with tons of fish, what come in must go out! So you need a way to export that nutrients/fish poo lol by way of using equipment, natural stuff like cheato and more ect

I maybe wrong but I think SPS dominated tanks with high fish loads and great coral growth maybe the exception not the rule.

You can follow a book to the teeth and the results won't be the same as the other guy

I disagree...IME the best SPS systems I've seen have relied on high pass through (import/export) of quality nutrients. Without a more complete ecosystem it can be done but it is a high maintenance balancing act. Many people who go that route have short term success but the dedication it takes to make it sustainable usually fades...
The well built systems can withstand and occasionally thrive during periods of relative neglect which helps keep the interest going and the hobby more sustainable long term. IMO

If you wrote a book kevin I would buy it

 

[Nonuser]

A few notes tip or tricks would be nice. You don't have to quote the entire book or even tell us the name

another fish ive always coveted was the moorish idol...
ive only ever tried one.. bought from a reputable system ate fine for a few weeks, then stopped, got ich and died...

only person i know thats kept them successfully on here is Rob @AdInfinitum

 

[Nonuser]

maybe Rob @AdInfinitum can give you some insight into his success? I have been readying up on different fish and their care needs and I am surprised at the size of aquarium recommendations.

I do understand that most of these fish were designed for the ocean and keeping them in any tank size is a real limitation for them. akin to having a killer whale at marineland.

 

[scubasteve]

the big tank recommendations are because some fish like tangs push up to 2 ft length. my favs would be powder blue tang or blonde naso tang. if i ever get the money a gem tang and an achilles

 

[scubasteve]

you can export lots efficiently even with lots of fish and sps. my tank proves it at over two years and no wc

 

[Nonuser]

well I really like a clean algae free tank. but the more bio load increases the nuisance algae right?
