Due to my own stupidity/impatience i cracked my 4x2x2 that i was in the process of building. I have since found and bought a 6x30x30 (with a ~5x2x2 sump ) as i have just bought a house and will not need to move it for years Apart from getting a lucky break(both with the house and the massively increased upgrade size) i am now a little daunted by what I have done and need some direction. The fish i currently have are below, but id like some suggestions on stocking and such. To help i have a list of fish that i like to give you all an idea. I really dont want to waste this opportunity and this is to be a somewhat 'wish list' to give me some drive to get the tank functioning and into shape as well as working out what equipment i need. #1 is that fish come first (outside rics) and that im willing to forgo any corals that become tasty snacks for fish, so angels and the like are possibility even with there hit and miss records. #2 i have to include dory even though im not really a fan of blue tangs it is a condition of my getting this tank, along with a long nose hawk (which isnt really a problem).
So what i have;
pair eiblii angels
pair occy clowns
juvi majestic
pair carpenters flasher wrasse
bangii cardinal
yellow spot box fish (n00b mistake in letting gf choose a fish in an impulse buy )
Fish i like;
blue throat trigger
Pomicanthus angels (not emperator) any coral safe? Blue face/six bar? or will my tank be too small?
Genicanthus (watanabe and bellus )
Centropyge (flames, lemon peel, rusty, coral beuty, potters....not flame back or nox)
Flasher fair wrasse (harem? and mixing)
Regal Angel
Anthias...? or could you get a large Harem of fairy wrasse without super male/fighting?
tangs
orange shoulder(?)
red sea sailfin(?) too small a tank?
achilles tang
oh and almost forgot
Copperband butterfly
long nose butterfly
