After an unbelievable amount of drama,scams, and wishy-washiness from people selling tanks I finally got a tank in my house. It is 72 long 36 high and 24 inches wide so a 269 gallon according to the gallon calculator, and it has a 55 gallon sump. I wish it was longer instead of being so tall, but oh well I am just happy to have it.
I *think* this is my final stock list, and I was curious in what order I should add these fish.
1 Saddle butterflyfish
1 Raffles/lattice butterfly
1 emperor angel- would be open to swapping this for a smaller species
1 Picaso trigger
1 porcupine puffer
1 Bird wrasse
Scopos, chocolate tang, or Sailfin tang- would like two from this list
5 lyretail anthias- 1 male 4 female
1 bicolor angelfish
I know the emperor angel needs to go in last, but what about the rest of them? Aside from the butterflies there seems to be arguments for most of these fish going in after the rest. My LFS has a small porcupine puffer that has been in the shop for 4 months, and I would love get him and add him first since he is well acclimated. Assuming that is okay, but what the rest?
From what I understand it seems this order is good? : puffer, butterflies, anthias, bi-color angelfish, both tangs, bird wrasse, trigger, and then emperor angelfish?
