I am currently setting up a RedSea 300XL G2 and and trying to get a handle on my stocking list and what order I should go about adding everything. I will be ordering through Dr. Reefs Fish to get everything fully quarantined, but unless it is currently in stock this process can take awhile so I would like to get a jump on things. My proposed list is:

(2x) Ocellaris Clowns
(1x) Royal Gramma
(1x) Banggai Cardinalfish
(1x) Flame Hawkfish
(1x) Diamond Watchman Goby
(1x) Carpenter Wrasse
(1x) McCosker’s Wrasse
(1x) Lineatus Fairy Wrasse (Male)
(1x) Whitetail Bristletooth Tang (Or small Angelfish)

My thoughts are that the two clowns will go in first and then every two weeks make another 2 or 3 additions. Not sure what the best order would be though. Thanks!

The clowns would be fine if you quickly add the others. If they establish a home then they might terrorize anything that comes close. I would personally add them close to the end

(2x) Ocellaris Clowns - 7
(1x) Royal Gramma -6
(1x) Banggai Cardinalfish - 1
(1x) Flame Hawkfish - Realize they can become bullies and eat any shrimp if you plan on having any
(1x) Diamond Watchman Goby - 4
(1x) Carpenter Wrasse - 3
(1x) McCosker’s Wrasse - 5
(1x) Lineatus Fairy Wrasse (Male) - 2
(1x) Whitetail Bristletooth Tang (Or small Angelfish) - 8

Ah ok thank you for the suggestion. Other than the clowns going in late, any input on the others in terms of when to add?
