    i just upgraded to 12- 13 gallons from 6 and have a clownfish (nemo) golden-tailed damsel (Alice) and a goby in the future
    Scuba is the way to go
    but taking a slice of reef home is just as good.

    300ltrs excluding sump and hob reugium
    2 flame angel
    2firefish
    3 clowns
    1 bangaii
    1 small foxface
    1 baby regal
    1 hifin goby
    1 little coral goby

    In the sump need to go are:
    1 little six line wrasse
    1 big algae blenny

    I know . some are panic buys just following lfs advice, i.e foxface, algae blenny and six line, panic buys for bubble algae and bristle worms which are all gone now also firefish was told should be in pairs but most here have just one so one will have to make way.
    I am hopping try to get rid of one firefish and foxface which has been eating all the bubble algae and will need a new home after. Also planing exchange the misbar clowns as they are getting too big, with something different soon.
