New tank (Reefer 625 XXL)...too many fish?

[ajtomase]

Hi everyone, I'm looking to get the Reefer 625 XXL which is a 132 gallon tank (not including the additional gallons in the sump). I'm putting together a wishlist of fish I want to include (fish only tank with live rock), but I'm not sure if I have too many fish/invertibrates:

• Cardinal fish (2)
  • Banggai cardinal fish; silver/black
• Blenny (1)
  • Lawnmower blenny; green
• Damsels (4)
  • Springeri damsel; blue
  • Blue/green chromis; blue/green
  • Ocellaris Clownfish (2); orange
    • premium snowflake
    • black ice
• Basslet (1)
  • Royal Gramma Basslet; yellow/purple
• wrasse (3)
  • Melanarus wrasse; blue/green (male)
  • Ruby Head Fairy Wrasse; blue/orange/yellow
  • Red Head Solon Fairy Wrasse; Blue, Green, Orange, Purple, Red, Yellow
• Dwarf angel (2)
  • Coral beauty; blue/orange/yellow
  • Flame angel; red
• Tangs (3)
  • Lemon tang, yellow
  • Yellow eye kole tang; yellow/brown
  • Purple tang; purple
• Rabbitfish (1)
  • One spot foxface; yellow
• Butterfly fish (2)
  • Pyramid butterfly; black/white/yellow
  • Schooling Bannerfish; black/white/yellow
• goby (1)
  • Yellow Watchman Goby; yellow

Invertebrates

• shrimp (2)
  • Skunk cleaner shrimp; red
  • Tiger Pistol (snapping) shrimp; brown
• Conch (5)
  • tiger conch
• Snails (5)
  • Branded trochus snail
• Urchins (1)
  • Blue tuxedo urchin
• Starfish 1)
  • Banded brittle star

Tang police, be nice (the tangs are all different species and I checked the amount of gallons required for each and I'm under those values). Any help if this is a good amount, or if it's too big what I should cut...


Thanks!!

Welcome to R2R... That is a fascinating list of fish, which I sure you will find an enjoyment to watch. I'm not a big fish guy, so am of limited help, but look forward to a Build Thread in the future.

The amount of fish you keep is really dependent on your systems ability to export what comes in to keep desirable levels.

Welcome to R2R!

the only things that stand out to me are the tangs and butterflies. The tangs because 132 isn’t a lot of room for swimming and to mitigate aggression. That said you’d probably be just fine with the kole tang. Butterflies because again, swimming room. Now mind you, I find myself to be more conservative when it comes to size of fish relative to tank. But yeah, having multiple 7-9” fish in a tank around 4 or 5 feet long isn’t something I’d do. One or two such fish would probably be okay
