Hey everyone looking for some advice on my stocking for my 125 gallon. Tank has been up for 4 weeks , started off with 80lbs of live rock at Tampa Bay Saltwater, 20 lbs of live rubble from my LFS ( in the Sump) and another 30-40lbs of dry Macro Rock. also added 100lbs Special grade Agronite sand ( 80 lbs dry & 20lbs live) With the TBS rock i got for hitchhikers a dwarf Octopus, Long spine urchin, Fleshy Limpet, regular Limpet, assorted small crabs, some snails, a red Macro Algae, a brittle star, and i hear a popping so guessing a pistol or mantis shrimp somewhere. All the hitchhikers are thriving and see them regularly. Added our first fish this week, a Carpenter Flasher Wrasse and a yellow clown goby. The Next of the stocking list is:

  • Pair of Fancy White Gladiator/Davinci Clowns
  • Red Firefish
  • A sand sifting Goby w/ Pistol Shrimp buddy
  • Either Flame Angel or African Flameback dwarf Angel
  • Possibly a Tomini Tang or white Tail Bristle tooth ( still undecided on adding a Tang)

  • we also added a few weeks back a few snails ( tubro/Margarita/Nasisrus/bumble bee ( about 10 total) and 2 fire/blood shrimp.
Any opinions on the list? I would also like to add another Flasher type wrasse ( reef safe) any suggestions on that. This will be a mixed reef ( shrooms/Zoas/LPS). Fish will be slowly added with the more aggressive ones last ( angel and the Tang)

Equipment:
  • Reef Matt 500
  • Reef Octopus Regal 150INT Varios
  • Trigger System Sapphire 39
Let me know what you think on the list and possible stocking suggestions. Thanks!

Tominis are super chill. Bristletooth tangs are mostly cool to other fish.

Good advertisement for that live rock.
