Red Sea Reefer 625 XXL Stock List?

[MannyS]

Hello Everyone I hope that you are all well. Wishing you all a very happy new year.

I am currently setting up my first tank red sea reefer 625. I wanted some help with the stock list. I'm almost ready to start it up and cycle it.

This is a list of fish that I would like to keep. Wanted to get your views if This would be ok

It will be a mixed Reef so will keep some corals as well.


Clown Fish x 2 orange x2 black
X1 royal gramma
X1 Purple Firefish
X1 Coral beauty
X Orcid dotty back
X1 Sunburst anthias
X1 Yellow tang
X1 Purple tang
X1 Pyramid butterfly
X1 Ornate Angelfish


Corals
Ricordea
Pavona coral
Hammer coral
Zoa
Toadstool coral
Duncan

I don't really know what fish to add first though . Im trying to follow the BRS 4 month cycle. I was thinking the clown fish and the yellow tang as it would control the algea outbreak in the ugly stage.

Im using about 40kg of dry rock from aqua forest. Should I add some live rock?


CaribSea live sand

Natrual sea water from a company that comes with bacteria in water.

Is the Ornate the Bellus Angelfish? That's a pretty big specimen.

Go with some bristletooths for algae control. TheI have a 625 as well. With Anthias they are a shoaling fish so multiples are better. I have 4 lyretail anthias. 1 blue eye kole. 1 Tomini tang. 1 chocolate mimic tang. And 1 Fiji foxface. That's it for fish and it's loaded with coral. You'll need a pretty big cuc as well.

Yes. Ahh will it be too big for the tank. Haha I originally wanted a power blue tang and a emperor angelfish. Then found out how small the 625 is lool despite it looking massive lol
