Swimming in the School
So I am currently stocking a 187 gallon reef. I hope to have a wide variety of fish in the tank. The dimensions are 60"x24"x30". I plan on having a mixed reef, with soft and stony corals, a RBTA, snails, peppermint and cleaner shrimp, and an electric blue hermit currently in the tank. The tank is a barebottom. I'm going to list the fish I already have, as well as fish I would like to add. I'm hoping for suggestions on other fish, or comments on what I shouldn't put in that is on my list. Thanks in advance!
1 Red Mandarin (super fat, the 80 lbs of rubble in the refugium, and the 150 lbs of LR in the display seems to provide plenty of copepods)
1 Algae blenny (obese, he's one of my favorite fish)
2 ORA Black Saddleback clowns (currently have a female, looking at a mate for her)
1 ORA Striped fang blenny (currently in quarantine)
1 Pajama Cardinal (already have)
1 ORA Banggai Cardinal (currently in quarantine)
3 Threadfin cardinals (already have, school with the PJ)
2 ORA neon or sharpnose gobies
1 Powder Blue Tang
1 Purple Tang
1 Yellow Tang
1 Red Sea Regal Angel (yes I know the work involved with this fish)
1 Moorish Idol (same as above)
1 Lemonpeel angelfish (I am aware of compatibility problems with corals, if problems arise, the coral they pick at will be removed)
1 Flame angelfish (same as above)
1 Royal Gramma
1 Fathead anthias
I know that is a lot of fish for this tank, but a lot of them are pretty small (gobies, mandarin, blennies, gramma, and cardinals) and I have a 55 gallon refugium, as well as performing weekly 20% water changes and aggressive skimming.
