Im Thinking Of Buying A Orca Tl550

[seffieuk]

Thats a good stocking list

I would stick with that, run it for a while and then see if you can squeeze in another if tank stats stay good.

Think all depends on how how light a sleeper you are, if you wake up at the slightest noise then probably not a good idea, but if you are like most teenagers and are dead to the world, it will not be a problem

just out of intrest what could you keep in a juwel 240 aquarium. could you keep a yellow tang? its just that a few years time i might up grade an orca to a juwel rio 240

sorry for all the bad spelling

 

[Harry1996]

this is what im putting in the back compartments, 100ml of rowaphos, filter floss (to stop bits of cheato in the pumps),1 carbon bag,1kg of live rock rubble,Chaeto with light. is this ok

In my opinion, a 240 is right at the bare minimum size for some tangs, larger (around 280-300) would be preferred.

 

[seffieuk]

IMO 75 gallons is the bare minimum for the smallest of tangs.

You need to put more than a 100 ml in the tank Harry - I put 250 ml in my orca 550. Put the chaeto in a media bag so you don't need the floss. And yes between 1 and 2 k of love rock in the back as well

Far too many Harry, start of with two

3 cirth snails and 3 nassarius snails

Not enough, you need at least 10
