Before I create my Build Thread, I want to get more input from those more experienced. It's not my first reef tank, but my first in 15 years.
I won't be adding these all at the start- nor could I afford to $$$. Below is my proposed stocking over the life of my "forever" tank. 220g (72"x24"x30")... for my kids.
Appreciate any feedback or input relating to anything below. If you've had good or bad experiences, compatibility issues, or whatever, I value your input.
Livestock (Proposed):
4 small yellow tangs
2 small hippo tangs
1 small coral beauty angelfish
1 small flame angelfish
1 small bicolor angelfish
1 small lemonpeel or yellow angelfish
4 small captive-bred ocellarish clownfish
1-2 (large classification) angelfish [Emporer, Regal, Blue, or Queen] - undecided
1-2 *Reef Safe* Wrasses - undecided
Inverts (Proposed):
Scarlet Reef Hermit Crabs
Electric Blue Hermit Crabs
Emerald Crabs
Blood Red Fire Shrimp
Scarlet Skunk Cleaner Shrimp
Snapping Shrimp
Nassarius Snails
Cerith Snails
Turbo Snails
LPS Corals (Proposed):
