Some are aware of the journey. I have now re set my captioned tank: I’m slowly re stocking and have all fish on hand. Everything being QT’d properly followed by methodically thought out and slow introduction, always adding turbostart bacteria when a few fish added.
My main question is stocking level: Here it is…( my guess is that most of these fish will not reach full adult size in an aquarium but the sizes I have articulated are ful adult sizes). Sample sizes currently ranges from 2 inch Blue hippo to 3 1/2 inch flame angel to 5 inch blueface and Yellow tangs to 6 1/2 inch black tang and Queen angel to largest being emperor at about 7 1/2- 8” and blonde Naso at 9 1/2 inches….

Tusk Pair (Re-intro sm female 8/28,lg male 8/29) 20
Flamehawk. ( Re-intro 8/19/23) 4.
Tahitian golden hawk(rare). 6. 72.
275 total adult inches which equates to 2.3in/gal of water volume. Most use total g’s measurement but I use actual set up water volume to be conservative. The tank is ~ 8ft long, 4’ high and 3’deep. Amazingly I have found with a tank that high, the fish actually do use the space in the upper region. I know my biggest issue might be aggression especially the angels, as they grow. However I have found that the more the better as then there is usually not targeted aggression but rather shared aggression.
Let me know if u think I’m overstocked or is ok as is for a long time to come. Thx!
