Fish for new 75G

[Steve Maxwell]

Hello,

I'm in the process of finalizing my 75G assembly and I ready to finalize my fish list. I plan on having live rock, sand, soft coral, SPS, & LPS. CUC of some urchins, snails, shrimp (maybe) and not sure what else...probably no crabs. I will have a refuge that I'll have pods, live rock rubble, & cheato in. I have a Reef Octopus SSS150, so can probably stock a little on the heavy side...right?

I'm not real sure how many fish I can get in there but these are what I am thinking:
- Kole Yellow Eye Tang (definite)
- 2 black & white clowns
- 2 kauderns cardinals
- carpenter flasher wrasse
- royal gamma basslet
- flame anthias
- exquisite firefish
- would love a Potter's angel, but afraid it would destroy too much coral...right?
- green or red mandarin once tank very well established

So is this too much to put in a 75? Any possible problems you see with the selection? Which would you recommend adding first?

Thanks for your help!!!

I think that list will work, though the potters angel is indeed a risk to coral.

The order I would recommend is
1. Firefish
2. Cardinals
3. Anthias
4. Carpenter's wrasse
5. Clowns
6. Tang

The mandarin can be added anywhere in the order once the tank is older than six months old.
