Stocking List Advice

[mikenestle]

Hey everybody, can I get some advice with this stocking list. I have a 120 gallon drilled with a sump and refugium probably about another 20 gallons. It is going to be a softie tank with hermits and snails as the main CUC.

This is the order and fish. (All fish will be in QT for a minimum of 30 days)

2 Bengaii Cardinals
1 Watchman Goby
2 Clownfish (not sure what kind but not maroons)
1 Orchid Dottyback
1 Flame Angel (my wife's tank she's willing to take risk)
1 Yellow Tang
1 Blenny (have not decided what kind or when to add advice would be appreciated)

What do you guys think?

I have a 120 with a refugium and im running cholerpa a reactor with carbon and a curve 5 skimmer from bubble magus, i find that snails really don't do much for my system in particular but i do recommend scarlet hermit crabs those things are very good at eating all sorts of algae... Personally i think you've got a good selection going, i would get the bangai cardinals as a pair from the store to make sure they won't fight... and the flame angel is a hit or miss fish my friend has one that doesn't nip at coral and then I've had another friend with one that did.... the orchid dotty back may prevent you from keeping clams and it may go for snails.. and you can add the blenny whenever i would just supplement feed him with algae flakes or nori...

Looks good! I would add the YT as the final fish. Make sure to feed a variety of foods so everyone gets a bite and can choose what to eat.

I would add the Flame Angel after the blenny and before or after the YT.

Thank You guys for the replies. This is my first reef tank and trying to make as few mistakes as possible.

This is my tank.

That list looks good. I would push the flame angel back in stocking order, but otherwise it's good.
