40g sump-less breeder Idea/build/journal thread.

[luvthereefer]

i was thinking 4 koralia 750s just because of the extra width of the breeder, i would like to add a DA controller one day for some wavemaker functions.

are there any fish suitable for my tank that would school?

i will be using IO salt mix and will be using aged tap water with prime for w/c and top up.

I can't find part 1 of the article, I remember having to search quite hard for it. Post it if you find it useful. I can't remember the difference but shoaling is the "proper" term so you might find additional info searching with it. I've read the Chromis shoal/school will constantly pick on the weakest member killing it until only a pair remains. Apparently this is common to many species. The shoals we see in public aquariums are successful because they have 10+ members so the bullying is spread across more individuals. I've also read an article where the author had success with shoaling by feeding constantly throughout the day. Don't remember the source though (Advanced Aquarist maybe?). Hope this helps.
