Hey R2R my new system is cycled but will not add any fish for another month. But I wanted to start a conversation about my fish list and stock order.
i'll try to use an acclamation box but as there no LFS with in 100 miles each way it will be 95%+ mail order for me and will get 3-4 fish at a time.

This will be a wrasse dominated system
for filtration I will be using:
4X filter cups with floss changed every 3 days
reef octo 150 skimmer
BRS mini reactor with GFO( if needed) and carbon
turbo's rev 4 L2 ATS
40W pentair UV set on low flow
AWC of 1-1.5gal per day

so here is my stocking list let me know your thoughts on what order I should add them.


650l Peninsula stocking list:
170 gal. system

Halichoeres:

H. melanurus “Melanurus Wrasse”

I'd do flashers and leopards first, then fairys, then halichoeres, then tangs.

The leopards need a well established tank but adding them after all the other wrasses could prove problematic.

That's alot of wrasses, I'm not sure if it'll work or not but that's your best bet I think.

that's what I was thinking to. maybe the pintail early one to.

of course I wanted the tang(s) in the 1st group to work on any algae that might come as I am low on maintenance fish.

we will see but I think it's a nice list. anyone ese have thoughts on this?
