Stocking a 33 Gallon
 
If you had a fresh start with a 33 gallon tank, what would you stock it with?
Once its cycled and stable of course.

I was thinking of a watchman goby and a bangaii cardinal to start.

It will be a lower light tank (2 bulb t5), so lots of corals to splash it up are out for now.

Two t5's in a 33 are more then sufficient for coral growth with decent bulbs, pretty much any LPS would be fine. My tank is only running 2 t5's

A pistol shrimp and goby pair would be cool...

yeah i have a pistol shrimp and yellow watchman goby in my tank and they are very unique together and are interesting to watch. i have 4 fish the PS and a sea hare for stock in my tank. personally IMO wouldnt go anymore than that

Well... I am setting up a 33 reef too..

My list is hopefully going to be..
Pair of Picasso clowns
helfrichi firefish
bluespot jawfish

and maybe.... A fairy wrasse of some sort..

For lighting I am running a 6-t5 setup... but I can say I know many that are using 2-t5 and it works great for most soft and lps.

Goodluck

In my 33 I have:
A pair of Clowns
Coral Beauty Angel
Lawnmower Blenny
Hi-finned red banded Shrimp Goby
For lighting I have 2 High Output T5 39 Watt bulbs in a Nova Extreme Fixture.
and I have a GBTA, frogspawn, palys, zoos, xenia and colt coral.

IN my 35 gallon I have 2 ocelaris clowns, 1 flame angel, 1 bi colour blenny and 1 mandarin goby ( eats mysis like a pig!!!!)

For my corals I have: tons of mushrooms, loads of zoas and palys, and a candy cane.

For lighting I started with PC's the moved to a 250W MH I found too strong so then bought a 4 bulb T5 fixture that is waiting on bulbs, so currently I'm on PC's for the moment.

For inverts I have 1 sea cuc, 1 pep shrimp, 3 idk shrimp, loads of hermits and snails
