Hello,
I know there is a steady stream of these posts but I am hoping you will indulge me with some feedback still . I have a new 150g build going and I know it is going to take >1 year to get to full stocking, but I wanted to share my plan and get feedback if there are concerns about the selections, the total number and/or the order.
First, a little background. My tank is 150g (60x24x24) with a mix of Kessil's and T5's. I plan to keep mostly SPS (acros, montis) with a couple of LPS (a hammer for the clowns and maybe a frogspawn). My base rock and sand is coming from TBS and the first batch will go in about a week from now. I am planning 72 days fallow and have a 4 week quarantine protocol planned for the fish (10g TTM followed by 20G QT). So my first fish will be ordered in about 6 weeks as the 4 wk quarantine will be on the tail end of the rock fallow period.
Now onto the fish plan. Below is the stocking wish list along with the order:
Mandarin Goby
Yellow Tang
Kole Tang
Flame Hawk
Ocellaris Clownfish (x2)
Royal Gramma (or a pair if I can manage it)
Regal Angel
Scooter Blenny - if the copepod population will support after the mandarin is established
Cherub angel OR African Flameback (leaning towards the AF)
Starry Blenny
3 Lyretail Anthias
Powder Blue Tang
I'd like a wrasse but seems like the 6 line is not a good choice. Any recommendations with the above stock list?
Thanks in advance for the feedback!
Rick
