LIVESTOCK TIPS
1. Regular water changes of up to 25% are highly recommended, initially on a weekly basis and
subsequently depending on water quality.
2. All livestock must be carefully acclimated before being introduced into the tank.
3. Introduce all livestock very slowly over a number of weeks. Smaller tanks are more sensitive to changes
in water parameters and therefore it is not advisable to introduce more than one animal at a time.
Ensure you allow each animal to settle in fully, and water parameters are correct, before introducing
another.
4. Consider the ultimate size and placement of each species chosen.
5. Example A:
Species such as common clown-fish (Amphiprion ocellaris), yellow boxfish (Ostracion
cubicus) or blue damsels (Chrysiptera cyanea) will quickly outgrow a tank of this size and are therefore
completely unsuitable.
6. Example B: Frog spawn or Hammerhead corals (Euphyllia spp.) can be extremely aggressive, and should
not be placed where sweeper tentacles can damage other corals, but must be in an area of sufficient
light intensity. Rate of growth should also be considered when purchasing and placing corals.
7. Please Note: ALL corals will eventually outgrow a tank of this size, and must be maintained and ‘pruned’
as necessary. Please refer to our “Suitable Species for the Next Wave 60” on pages 43-46, or speak to
your aquatics retailer for further advice.
8. Consider the dietary requirements of each species added. For example, it may be inadvisable to keep a
large number of filter feeding invertebrates in a small tank. Competition for a limited food source will be
very high, but adding more zoo- or phytoplankton may act as a pollutant in the water.
CAUTION: DO NOT OVERSTOCK THE TANK.
Small tanks inherently support far fewer animals than a traditional reef aquarium and large quantities of
livestock in a Next Wave 60 is strongly discouraged. Consult your local retailer for stocking advice.
