hi guys, the other day a thought popped in to my head as i have a nice space in my room for a 2 foot tank could i do a little marine setup with maybe a piar of common clowns and mostly corals and LR? because the space is just infront of my bed so it would be an amazing veiw at night to watch all the nocturnal inverts n stuff happen?? btw my dad picked up some rotkiel sevs yesterday that are 1cm 16 of the little buggas!!! anyway just a thought |

all angels are too big and so are tangs, you could keep a pair of smaller clowns (like nemo), and most of the goby species, mollies can be kept in there as long as you aclimatise them fully. |

when acclimatising marines you have to take you time never rush them.the most important thing is getting the salinity between tank and bag the same. on invetibrates you should spend at least several hours drip acclimatising them. you could also have some wrasses in the tank.

Ive had some of the giant orange sailfin mollies in a marine tank to cycle before now |

how do you acclimatise freshwater mollies to marine?? |

|
by slowly adding saltwater to their bag a spoonfull at a time until the amount of water in the bag has quadrupled, then its fairly safe to add them to your tank |

and you have to use special marine salt, not table salt |
