Hi there

Post by Dr. Puff »

Hi all, just popping my head in.

Brought a new tank a few weeks ago and the main fish is going to be a porc puff.

Now just working out what oer fish can also go into the tank, having been thinking of a long horn cow, couple of trigs, banner fish and maybe sum tangs.

Thank is 44 x 34 x 21 inch so its a good size tank with a nice large foot print
Running a deltec mce600 skimmer and will have a good bit of flow in the twnk once its all set up

So anyway hi

Hi and welcome to the forum. That tank equates to 136 gallons gross volume. How much live rock will you have in there.? I would personally not add too much else with the porc or you could have issues with bio load
It's amazing how easy maintenance is. If done regularly and thoroughly
