Hello everyone,
This is my first time posting. I am wanting to get some input on my final stocking for my 125g reef tank. The tank is 72in long, 18in wide. I created what I believe to be a fairly decent HNSA ( Habitat Negative Space Aquascape) which provides a lot of habitat space for fish. This is a reef tank with coral so any inhabitants need to be reef safe. I am open to ideas for both fish and other neat inhabitants.
My current stocking levels:
2 Frostbite clownfish
2 Sapphire damsels (considering more)
2-4 Fire fish (haven't seen all four at once in a few weeks
1 Starry Blenny ~6in
1 Six line wrasse ( will bully other wrasses, I think he killed a leopard wrasse)
1 Foxface Rabbit fish ~4.5in
1 Purple tang ~3in

Clean up crew:
sand tiger conch
Cleaner shrimp
Snails
Hermit crabs
Serpent star (would potentially like another type of star)

Thank you for any and all suggestions!

You should consider a welcome thread and a build thread. Your tank looks great. Can’t wait to see what you build

Bring this old post back, but what brand is your tank I am looking to upgrade my 90 gallon and I need to keep the width at 18. Thanks
