Hey y’all. Setting up a Red Sea reefer max 425 g2+ later this week. Obviously have to get the tank cycled first but trying to plan out my fish plan. Here’s what I’m thinking but tell me if this is too much.

2 clowns
4 chromis
3 lyretail anthias
Lawnmower blenny
Blonde naso tang
Kole tang
yellow corris wrasse

Looks alright to me minus below comments.

Be mindful of the feeding requirements of the chromis and anthias. They like to be fed often, so you may need to consider an auto feeder. I had lyretails I could not get them to eat anything that I could dose dry; they only wanted the good stuff hense why there's only one left.

As for the nano tang, I wouldn't have one of them in a tank your size, they require more swimming space! I wouldn't go lower than 200 gallon 7 6 feet really for one of them.

Best of luck! Share pictures! :star-struck:



Here's what I have in a tank similar sized to yours :)

2 x Common Clown Fish - Coral / Marlin
1 x Timor Wrasse - Tony
1 x One-spot Foxface Rabbit Fish - Finn
1 x Magnificent Foxface Rabbit Fish - Manuel
1 x Pink-spotted Watchman Goby - Candy
1 x Bella Sifter Goby - Bella
1 x Coral Beauty - Valentine
1 x Cherub Angle Fish - Clarence
1 x Anthias (unknown) - Merryl
1 x Long Nose Hawk Fish - Percy
1 x Scarlet Flame Hawk Fish - John
1 x Blue Regal Tang - Dory
1 x Yellow Tail Purple Tang - Violet

yeah maybe skip the Naso tang…
Good luck with those chromis, I’ve seen folks get a group to work but IME they always self destruct or get uronema (or whatever)
…the dark blue Carribean chromis “might” be a lil less disease prone than the pacific blue/ green types but also get a lil chippy as they get older

This is super helpful, thank you! So is there that big a difference between having 1 naso tang and 2 other tangs like your purple and regal?

Good to know about feeding chromis and anthias. My wife is stay at home mom so hopefully she can feed them while I’m at work.

Also do you have coral? Does your coral beauty and angel pick if so?

Try a group of 3 chromis. Seems to work. Ive had my trio almost a year now. They dont fight and swim around together. Got them when they were small. Odd numbers seem to have more success with chromis. Also naso tangs get huge. Seem to grow slow if you get a small one. Would need a very large upgrade if you went with one of them
