Sorry to post ANOTHER stocking suggestion thread but I have been spending some time reading through threads and wanted to get some opinions on my new setup.
I am going to be doing a mixed reef and want a peaceful community style tank. The tank is custom built, 32” Long x 22” Deep by 30” Tall. I will post a few current photos below for reference.
Here is what I have come up with thus far:
Wants
- Midas Blenny
- Pair of Percula or Ocellaris Clowns
- Firefish, Helfrichi or Some sort of Firefish (Is it not a good idea to do multiple?)
- Green Mandarin (far down the road)
- Some sort of Goby
- couple of Wrasses
- couple Pajama Cardinalfish (maybe, wife is not a fan)
If Possible
- Some sort of Anthias that could work in my tank. In my old 135g I used to have 5 bartletts and LOVED them. Just worried my current tank might not have the swimming space for them.
I am expecting to have a good size bio load in the tank but how does this all look? What would be the order you recommend for stocking? I am getting back into the hobby after 13 years out so the norm back when I first started was to add the clowns first, is that still a good idea?
Thanks in advance for the help!
