150 Gallon Mixed Reef Stocking Ideas

[dreshorty4]

I’ll be purchasing a 150 gallon aquarium soon that’s 48x24x30 and I had a 75 that just burst on me so I’ll be adding the fish from the 75 into the 150, but I’d like to know how many more fish I could add. I’m looking to curate a LPS dominate mixed reef.

Current Stock:
3 Clowns
Purple Firefish
Spotted Hawkfish
Coral Beauty

Potential Additions:
Marine Betta
Tang (Powder Blue/Sailfin/Yellow)
Midas Blenny
Sand Sifting gobies
Wrasse (Melanarus/Newton/Exquisite/Flasher)

Those fish are fine. With good filtration and depending on what types of fish, you could have around 8-12 more fish on top of whats on your list.

The sandsifting gobies might bury any corals placed on sand or low in the tank. Mine made it impossible to keep corals low in the tank.

Depends on the species of sand sifting goby of course. Mine was a diamond watchman. I can can't speak for others
