Stocking questions ReeferS 850G2+

[Real McCoy]

Hello,



I am new to the form and will be upsizing my Reefer XL300(80gl) to their ReeferS 850G2 (224gl). I have been contemplating fish stock. I would like a blond naso, whitetail Kole, and a Purple tang. My second choice would be the Blond Naso, Purple Tang, and Magnificent Fox Face. Is this a realistic group of fish in that size tank? I currently have 3 yellow Coris (male & 2 females), a melanurus, a starry blenny, a six-line, Royal Gramma, 2 Yasha that have paired with a tiger pistol shrimp, a pink spot goby, and 4 chromis.

Looks like a Reefer 850 has a 6x2x2 display, so we can treat it like stocking a standard 180 gallon.

My opinion is that, ideally, the Naso would have 8 feet. It's up to you though.

As for mixing tangs/rabbits, I'm confident that the blonde Naso + white tail + purple will coexist just fine. You could also add the magnificent foxface to the group.

You should be ok with a tang and rabbit in that size tank. I have a spotted rabbit fish and a sailfin in a 125 for now. They are good with each other but it’s the green chromis’s that pick on them

The Chromis lol wow.

Yah, they wake up and choose violence from time to time. I thought my China wrasse would have been the tanks bully.
