Stock suggestions for 5.5' shallow reef
 

My current tank is rimeless and I just love the look. Much cleaner.. That and if I'm selling the wife on a giant tank in the living room.. Estitics are a huge part of it

I hear mixed things on Chromis being peaceful vs taking each other out. Are anthias jumpers?

How about a eurobrace with polished edges and no trim? Are you polishing the rest of the tank? Polishing is an important aspect of aesthetics imo. I have a one-piece eurobrace on mine and it's all polished, it's pretty slick looking. I got some rounded plastic corners made on a 3D printer (I can hook you up with those...rounded or not) and the screen fits flush with the eurobracing. Let me know if you want to see some pics.

I think if the tank is big enough Chromis can live in bigger groups, though IME your tank is kinda on the line for that.

I would to see some pics!

I have a buddy with an eurobraced tank and he always complains that it's a pain to clean the algae from under the brace.
Why is it that you think rimless is that much of s pain over eurobraced?

The new tank will be 5/6" starfish. All visible edged polished

I have both, a tank that's rimless and one that's a one piece euro. I will never do rimless again, it's a pain to clean. Trying to get algea scrubbed off near the top results on splashes on the outside ect...lol but they do look pretty.

Hopefully this will help but my light has a spread of 18" and I made the tank 20" so less light would hit the glass and hopefully less cleaning

Wondering how you polish a 5/6" Starfish? Tiny little buffer? :wink:

Damn autocorrect! Haha. 5/8". Aka 15mm starfire aka low iron :)

So any other nice or interesting fish suggestions?

+1.i had 3 of them in my tank and they got along as babies but a soon as they mature they will start pair up and the other one is chased down until they kill him,sometimes if you are not lucky and you end up with 2 males they will fight as they mature..

Well I'll be sure to only get one of the opposite sex then!

With green Chromis I keep reading mixed opinions on safe in groups or not
