Hello! I have a two month old 90 gallon tank (48x18x24) with a 30 gallon sump housing a Red Sea SK300 skimmer. My long-term plan is for an SPS-exclusive reef tank (no soft or LPS at all). My current stock list is:
Fish:
Pseudochromis fridmani, Orchid Dottyback 2”
Halichoeres melanurus, Melanurus Wrasse 1.5”
Ctenochaetus flavicauda, White Tail Tang 3”
Proposed additions:
4” Regal Angel
4” Scribbled Rabbitfish
4” Bella Goby
3” McCosker’s Flasher Wrasse
Inverts:
Lysmata amboinensis, Skunk Cleaner Shrimp
Lysmata sp., Peppermint Shrimp
Stenopus hispidus, Banded Coral Shrimp
Petrolisthes galathinus, Porcelain Crab
Mithraculus ruber, Red Mithrax Crab
I’d really appreciate some opinions about fish. What would you add? When should I call it a day in order to avoid an obscene bio-load?
I’d love to have another tang, perhaps a yellow, but I know there might be an issue with the White Tail Bristletooth, and I don’t really want fish I’d have to rehome later due to size or attitude. My dream fish right now would be a Regal Angelfish if I can get one pre-quarantined and medicated like I did with the current fish. Overall, I’d like to add more movement and personality, and I feel like the tank could use some yellow, or even blue. A rhomboid wrasse also came to mind when I was brainstorming.
