Ok. So I upgraded from a 125 gal to a custom 300 gal FOWLR. Sadly, none of my fish made the transfer, including my 12” lion . I’ve had time to grieve, and allowed my tank to be fallow for 5 months. I’ve added a mandarin goby and he’s been loving life for a month, but it’s time for some roommates.
First question, is my list too large for a 300 gal? After about 200-250 lbs of rock and sand, I guesstimate about 240gal of actual water.
Secondly, looking for opinions and advice for stocking. My plan is below, in order of stocking groupings, first to last, with a month or so between groups. * fish are ones that I absolutely want to get.
Porcupine puffer
Blue spot puffer
*Cow fish
Springeri damsel
Raccoon butterfly
*Powder blue tang
*Achilles tang
*emperor Angel
Anularis Angel
Flame angel
*Clown trigger
Picasso trigger
I know many of these guys are quite large, and produce a lot of waste. I just don’t want to overstock like some tanks I see. And yes, I know the clown trigger is the worst when it comes to tank mates. Hahaha. If you got this far, thanks in advance! Look forward to hearing what you guys think.
