Hi fellow Reefers!
It’s finally happening- we will be upgrading from a Red Sea Reefer 170 into a Waterbox Infinia 165.4. I would like to share the stocking list that I have in my head- and have all your valuable inputs why this is- or is not realistic.
The tank is 4 ft long and the total system volume will be 165 gallons. It will be a bare-bottom setup with no sand.
Feedback on the proposed list would be appreciated, keeping in mind the following:
1) Species compatibility
2) Desire for a mostly peaceful tank
3) Variety of “personalities” in the tank
4) Bioload on the system
5) Distribution of swimmers throughout the relatively high water column
6) Reef compatibility
I’ve done my best to research the best fish choices to meet these many criteria, but am sure my “newbieness” may have overlooked a thing or two. I also think a compromise or two is inevitable (but hope to be proven wrong). Here is my preliminary list. Feedback encouraged and appreciated!
Fish from old tank:
2 x Ocellaris Clownfish
1 x Mandarin Goby
1 x Timor Wrasse
1 x Six Line Wrasse
New fish:
1 x Yellow Tail Purple Tang
1 x White Tail Kole Tang
1 x Magnificent Fox Face
1 x Peacock Wrasse
1 x Lilac Pyjama Wrasse
1 x Lawnmower Blenny
1 x Copperband Butterfly
1 x Flame Angel Fish
1 x Long Nose Hawk Fish
1 x Royal Gramma
Thanks!
