75 Gallon Mixed Reef Stocking Ideas

[dreshorty4]

Hey all!! About to upgrade from a 60 cube to a 4ft 75 Gallon, since I prefer the 4ft footprint. I currently have 2 clownfish, 2 bangaii cardinals, a purple firefish, 2 urchins, and a coral banded shrimp. It is a mixed reef tank (feather dusters/euphylia/anemones/softies) With upgrading to the 75 I’d like to know if I would be able to add a marine betta and/or a bristle tooth tang? How many more fish could I add to the system and what would a final stocking list look like?

Hmm id say 3 more. A tang maybe?

A bristletooth should be fine. I would forgo the marine beta as it could probably eat your bangais if it is large enough as well as the shrimp.
Depending on the size of the additions I would agree with the above recommendation of 3 although, depending on your goals and nutrient export potentially more.

Nauti is right. Make sure your running a good skimmer.

Just make sure you add slowly to not overload the export system you have in place.
