Hi All,

I am currently in the process of upgrading from a red sea reefer 250 (65g) to a waterbox 180.5 (180g). I was hoping to get some advice on stocking that would fit well with my existing community and be OK to be added after them.

As it stands I currently have:
  • 1 x Engineer Goby (Almost a foot long)
  • 2 x Picasso Clown (paired)
  • 2 x White Belly Wrasse
  • 2 x Bangai Cardinals
  • 1 x Orchid Dottyback
  • 1 x Purple Firefish
I also have a couple of shrimp and a smattering of crabs and snails. To me this feels notably over stocked so I am eager to be a bit lighter going forward to give everyone a bit more space and room to grow.

In an ideal world I would like to get some (clearly not all) of the fish below:
  • Hippo Tang
  • Powder Blue Tang
  • Yellow Tang (seem to still be some around at reasonable rates here)
  • Rabbitfish (Foxface or Magnificent)
  • Flame Hawkfish
  • 3 x Anthias (Not quite sure on type)
Can anyone give me an idea of which if any of these might work? I'm also open to completley new suggestions in the same vein!

Thanks.
