I am in the process of building a red sea reefer 750xxl I got for a good deal on craiglist. (retrofit kit installed and extra care taken with leveling).
The tank is 6 ft wide and 160 gallons with a 40 gallon sump.
Attached is the stocking plan. I plan on running the tank fish only for quite a while and start adding coral during phase 4/5ish?
Planning on a sps dominant mixed reef.
Notes
1. Is trying for 2 clown pairs in a 6 ft tank too ambitious?
2. I understand the butterfly fish are moderately difficult to keep but I really enjoy both of them.
3. Am I as overstocked as I think I am? I am planning on running a filter roller, algae reactor, and protein skimmer. There will be 10%/week continual water changes.
4. I plan on 4-5 weeks between each phase. Is this too long/too short?
Thanks for any and all advice.
