Hi all. So my 220g fish only tank is finally together and filled with water. The tank is 72" wide, 30" tall, and 24" from front to back (using the word deep there seemed like a bad idea...). I have a wet/dry setup that is 45" wide, 16" tall, and 12" from front to back. There are some rocks for hiding places, maybe 50 pounds so far. My fiancé wants to throw in a couple pieces of the fake coral rocks for some color. But other than that, there is a lot of space to swim and hide.
Here are my stocking plans so far, grouped by order of introduction:
Group A:
- Foxface x2
- Eel (Either a Zebra, Snowflake, or a Spotted Moray)
Group B:
- Porcupine Puffer (Smallest I can find)
- Dog Face Puffer (Smallest I can find)
- Volitan Lion (Smallest I can find)
- Pakistani Butterfly
Group C:
- Harlequin Tusk (Australian)
- Powder Brown or Blue Tang
Group D:
- Emperor Angel (Adult)
- One of either a Annularis, Passer, or Blue Girdle Angel (Juvenile)
- Purple Tang
My biggest fear with this list is that some of these fish get big. A 220g is a decent sized tank, but I worry that over a long period of time, this stocking list my be overcrowded in the tank. What are your thoughts?
