I just got a 6' 170g and I'm about to finish up the stand and start cycling. So I'm trying to figure out the stocking, but I've never had a tank this big. So far I'm thinking:
Obligatory pair of clowns
6 anthias
2-3 royal gramma
3 tangs or 1 tang and 1 rabbitfish
I'm unsure what anthias. I'm leaning towards dispar because I've read they're the easiest to get on pellets.
I'm also leaning towards 1 tang and 1 rabbitfish. I would like a powder blue, so a rabbit fish will let me get some algae control earlier and let me wait until the tank is more mature to add the powder blue.
The question I have is how many/what other fish would be good additions. As well as any input on the above. Filtration is a 55g sump with refugium and skimmer.
