New to the hobby, but I've done some research and I'm finally planning my first tank. I'm hoping to go 90 gal minimum, hopefully closer to 110/120, reef tank plus a sump with refugium and skimmer. Corals will be mostly soft ones (not jumping right into SPS or anything). I've gathered a potential stocking list and now I'd love some feedback, see if I'm being realistic!
(In no particular order):
- Clarkii clowns (pair)
- Banggaii cardinal fish (small group?)
- Blue-green chromis (small group?)
- (1) Small, reef safe wrasse (six line or similar)
- Pair of gobies with symbiotic shrimp
- (1) Yellow eye/Kole tang
- A few crabs, shrimp or other inverts
From what I've read, it seems that the chromis and the cardinal fish run the risk of occupying the same "niche", so I wonder about having small groups of both of them in a tank of this size.
Also, how "future proof" is this list? Would it leave room to add anything in the future? Any input would be so appreciated, thanks in advance!
