So, I'm building out my 120 gallon and hoping to have water in it by the end of week. :)
One of the plans for this is to merge all of my existing tanks (2 dt's, and 1 QT) into this tank. One of the questions I have is what order to add the fish when the time comes.
In QT: Copperband. Pretty sure it will be the first addition so I can get it established and be sure it's eating in the big tank.
In my 92:
1 Sm/Med Blue Hippo Tang
1 Sm/Med Scopes Tang
1 Clarkii Clown hosting in a Green BTA
1 Bonded pair of Falco Hawkfish
2 PJ Cardinals (not a bonded pair)
1 Snowflake eel (will be going into the Fluval M90 below once it is empty and moved. I'm going to plumb it into the 120 sump so 1 main water body to take care of.)
In my Fluval M90:
1 Sm/Med Yellow belly Blue Hippo Tang
1 Coral Beauty
1 Sunset Dottyback
1 Aptasia Filefish
Maybe 1 Yellow Watchman Goby
My thoughts:
Batch 1: Copperbanded (direct add)
Batch 2: PJ Cardinals, Sunset dottyback, Coral Beauty, Aptasia Filefish (direct adds)
Batch 3: Clarkii and Anemone with rock.
Batch 4: Both Blue Tangs and Scopas. (Use acclimation chambers for each blue tang and don't release for 2+ weeks. Scopas will acclimate with it's current Blue friend)
Batch 5: Move snowflake to M90 once plumbed into the 120 sump.
Thoughts and suggestions? (I know 2 Blue tangs are a risk. If fighting breaks out and is not controllable, I'll re-home one of them. Also, they will eventually be re-homed when they outgrow the tank.)
Thanks,
-Chris
