Fish only tank

[bignose]

I got a free maroon clown fish and was wondering if I could have it in a bare tank with no rock. I'm starting up a new tank soon for this guy.

What are you going to do for filtration?

I have started my old 55G tank and I'm going to put a whisper 60 filter for now. I also put in a couple of powerheads and a heater of coarse.

I just went to buy some live rock from a lady and she ended up giving me a 5-6" maroon clown, a 3-4" starfish and a whole bunch of snail for free.

Nice score if I can keep the clown alive.

You running a skimmer,how many fish in the tank,how old is the setup,how deep is your sand if you use any ,are you running any carbon or other medias in your filter and are there any macro algaes present?

My wife keeps a 35g fowlr tank that only has about 10lbs of lr in it. I modified a 100g ehiem canister with liverock,carbon and phosmedia, that combined with a deep sand bed,a huge cheato colony and about 15x flow seems to be working for her. P.s her tank is well stocked with 4 fish

Hi,

I have is a nano tank running. I have a rs135 and a 150MH light that I can use the tank temporarily. Is is ok to place the skimmer right in the tank with the fish?

I'm just winging it right now becasue I've never been in a situation like this.

Opinions are like a holes..............lol I'd say as long as he doesnt get sucked up and as long as you can keep everything in check go for it. But thats just one mans opinion.
