I believe that I have finally decided on my tank. I am going to go with a planet aquarium internal overflow 180 gallon 72 x 24 x 24 setup. My main question is order and process to add these livestock keeping in mind I want to play it safe and quarantine everything. I’m confused on how to start the tank. I read that CUC need 72 days of quarantine. How can I add them first with no algae in the tank. Or is there a better way I’m overlooking? I don’t have existing tanks there fore my QTs wouldn’t sustain them either. Any advice would be appreciated.
Fish List (any additions or suggestions welcome, I’m opposed to more types. Would love to have multiple tangs but seems like I can’t)
clown pair
Purple tang
(Yellow tang, haven’t decided if i should risk adding young at some time as yellow tang, thoughts with this size tank)
Foxface
Six line rass vs mandarin goby (opinions?)
Royal gramma
Couple various damsels
Lawn mower blenny
CUC
peppermint shrimp
Cleaner shrimp
Various snails
I would like to add hardy corals once coralline algae starts growing
