75 Gallon stocking ideas

[Rham1281]

I am in the process of compiling a list of stock I want to keep in my tank. I plan on having a mixed coral/fish tank and clowns are pretty high up on my list as well. Other than that, I'm not too sure on what other fish I want to keep. Dimensions are: 48'' long, 18'' wide, 21" tall


What are your experiences with your favorites?
What are some not so fantastic experiences?
What are some things that you wish you would have known before buying fish?
Bonus points if you can also recommend some good LPS to keep!

Longfin clowns are hard to find and cal look pretty cool. I love my tomato clowns but I would struggle to recommend them for community tanks because once they mate and nest the female gets extremely aggressive, more aggressive than a damsel or sixline wrasse imo. Straight up murderer, that one.

I'm pretty new to the hobby, but I have a 75g as well. I have a couple of clowns, a couple of firefish goby, and a couple of azure damsels. Based on my limited experience, I'd skip the azure damsels if you ever get the urge. I have one that is mean as hell. Considering removing him.

They are pretty but certainly a temperamental fish and frankly very hard to catch. My blue damsel is a like Luke Skywalker in a X wing!

I just removed my aggressive one and I had to move the entire rockscape and finally just chase him until he was tired in a corner. Was a PITA

Yeah frankly mine is scared of my tomatoes and sitting in the exact crevice they want to next over. Too dumb too move!
