Awww......I like your damsels (but then, I'm a damsel fan!!)....they're so cute when they're little!!!

Say, is that a flag painted on a brick?

 

[jaws2]

ya it is a flag on a brick a was bored LOL

I think it is kinda plain. Try adding a background and some dried
coral. Also consider adding a pair of clowns and a small tang or
angelfish after you get rid of a damsel or 2.

a tang? No tangs need large, large tanks on upwards to about 75 gallons. I do agree though on adding a background and maybe get some live rock in there and it will look great.

 

[jaws2]

i am waiting on the live rock i heard that the polops will die over the high nitrites so i am too careful about this

Clowns would be ok in a tank that small though, and perhaps an anemone could also survive if the nitrates/phosphates went up a little....

 

[fishboy]

Wouldnt try anemones either because they are very difficult to keep, need high lighting, and seem to have early expiration dates when kept in aquariums.

You are missing out on what I think makes SW tanks so interesting. I would remove the brick, bottle and shell and start gradually adding a good amount of live rock ASAP. The LR will help in getting your tank to stabilize. As far as polyps are concerned whatever ones that might have survived or hitchhiked on your LR should be O.K. if you have enough light.

I would not add any polyps until you have finished stocking your LR and have the lighting for them.

What kind of subtrate is that? Deep sand beds are all the rage now-a-days but many still use crushed coral.

How much light do you have on the current setup? 3 watts per gallon would be O.K. for a FOWLR (fish only with live rock), but you would need to double that for most corals.

Below is a great resource for SW.

yeah i think taking the bottle and brick out will help. A LOT.

 

[jaws2]

i did only 3 watts a galoon for a FOWLRER tank i will check that
