75-gallon stocking list idea

[echo53775]

I have 75-gallon aqueon tank with a 40-gallon breeder as the sump. I do have some coral frags and intend to keep softies/lps corals. I also plan on keeping it bare bottom. Currently, I already have:
2 occ. clownfish
1 red firefish
3 benggai cardinal fish

I'm thinking to add these in order:
1 royal gramma
1 longnose hawkfish
1 sixline wrasse or melanarus wrasse
1 yellow watchman goby/pistol shrimp or lawnmower blenny (I could add these earlier but I figured that I might want my tank to be more mature before adding these)
1 coral beauty or one spot foxface
1 tomini tang or yellow tang

Any thoughts/suggestions are welcome. Thanks.

I want a royal grampa for my tank

I think everything but the coral beauty. I would go with fox face over it. They look great but can go after lps. Really depends on your filtration if it can handle that many fish. Id probably keep it 10 or 11 fish at most unless you have great filtration.

Thank you. I figured that I have 40 gallon for sump with tons of rocks in it and running chaeto reactor so I should be ok with bioload but I'll be adding them slowly and checking parameters as I go.

I would echo the above. Foxfaces are awesome. But also add it sooner, they can be pretty shy and are not overly aggressive. If you get a tomini watch for aggression towards the blennys and gobies. Adding it last is a good idea.

So maybe add foxface before the wrasse?

I don't think it matters just maybe add the 6 line last. I had one once that was chill but some get a little feisty.

I have 75-gallon aqueon tank with a 40-gallon breeder as the sump.

I'm planning the same combo and looking into stocking ideas. Have you added more fish or narrowed down your choices? How's it going?

Foxfaces are huge fish, I would pass. They grow super quick too. Would be very cramped in a 75

I would definitely go for a coral beauty over a fox face.

Which ever tang you get i would probably get last.

Everything else is fine though, just make sure you have good filtration.

No to the Foxface. Tank is way too small. I kept a YT in a 90, but that was a little small (the tank). I had a Coral Beauty and this one left corals alone. It's hit or miss. Rest of fish are fine.
