150 gallon stock list

[Peanutbutter]

So far all I have is 9 blue/green chromis in the tank cycling it but the wishlist of the stock would be
10 chromis
1 royal gramma
2 occelaris clownfish
1 black cap basslet
1 diamond back goby
1 purple tang
1 blue tang
1 Achilles tang
30 or so blue leg hermit crabs
6 peppermint shrimp
1 skunk cleaner shrimp
1 blood red shrimp
Along with a few snails here and there


So my question is mainly for the tangs
I've heard the purple and Achilles sometimes get really nasty so should they be added last to avoid issues? Also I'm pretty sure I'll end up getting the Achilles last simply because they just aren't to common around here, so will I have issues introducing him in the tank once the other two are already set up ?

And in your opinion would you say my tank would be under stocked,overstocked, or just right ?

I'm running a reefoctopus 150 in the sumo but I'm debating whether or not to get another one

i would drop the blue and achilles tang, and probably do far less chromis.

i have a 150 long (6 feet long) with a yellow tang in it, he barely tolerates the copperbanded butterfly he shares the tank with, let alone another conspecific. still a Zebrasoma genus like the purple, but generally regarded as somewhat less aggressive than the purple tang.

my total stock list for fish is as follows, i feel i am at a good capacity:

1 yellow tang
1 copperbanded butterfly
2 orange spotted filefish
2 percula clowns
4 lyretail anthias
1 mandarin dragonet
1 lawnmower blenny

tank dimensions are 72"x18"x29"

This. Also, cycling with fish is a bad idea.

I've got a 150 as well and I don't think your too far off but I would change up the tang selection. The three you listed are all pretty aggressive so maybe picking less aggressive tangs or swaping in another large fish like a fox face or butterfly for one of the tangs

What's so bad with cycling tanks with fish ? I've Always done it never had any problems

 

[marleesan]

Cycling with fish is cruel as it puts fish through rise in ammonia and nitrites which can burn and kill them. Also, the blue and Achilles wrasse will outgrow your tank
