Sure you could go FOWLR. Maybe 2 clown fish and a neon (or possibly firefin)goby? I'm no stocking expert, but that might be just enough. Last edited by djtj at 24-May-2005 09:50

If you've never done any saltwater before, I suggest doing a bit of research first. Not the easiest thing to "dive" into persay. A pound of live rock per gallon and a nice small skimmer will maybe 2"-3" of sand would probably do you well. Are you planning on staying fowlr or upgrading to reef?

Gerber77 Fingerling Posts: 44 Votes: 0 Registered: 02-Feb-2005	I will not be upgrading to a reef tank. I think I will go with five pounds of live rock and maybe one of those bleached coral. I was thinking of getting a tamato clown pair or a percula clown pair, a firefish, and maybe sone green reef chromis. Is this overstocked or will it be okay. I would appreciate any stocking suggestions in my 29 gallon tank.

I'd leave them out. Also, with the clowns, tomatoes would not be a good choice. They're one of the larger clownfish species, and can reach five inches. If you want a clownfish pair, you're going to have to stick with one of the smaller species, such as A. percula or A. ocellaris.
