80 gallon stock list

[aaron1129]

okay I have narrowed down my fish stocking list, for my 80 gallon. I finally have the tank up and running after 6 months of planning. I am going to cycle for at least 6 weeks, my test kits get here monday, so I plan on starting to test early next week, and I will be following the nitrogen cycle.

so here is my list

1) kole eyed tang
2)ocellaris pair (maybe black and white or onyx)
3)watchman goby

I may want to add another in the future, any suggestions? I may just keep it at this. I feel a little more attached the to fish when I stock less.

Aslo, would it matter which of these fish is stocked first?

The tank as a footprint of 48''x24''

That looks fine. Add in reverse order, watchman, clown pair, and tang.
I'd add a Haliocheres or Flasher wrasse. Add some nice color and lots of movement. Make sure you QT! Good luck.

Good advice.

Yeah I think the dollar per gallon sale is soon i'll prolly grab a tank and set it up with leftover freshwater equipment. Also, I looked at a lot of wrasses On liveaquaria; they are very pretty fish, my mother had one in her reef.

Awesome! Good luck to you sir!
I personally feel that the Wrasses of the Haliocheres sp. are prettier. However, they will pick at your CUC population, but worth it in my opinion. Flasher wrasses aren't as bold but are completely reef safe.

Thanks, don't mean to change the subject of the post too much but how do you orient your jebaos in the tank, I am thinking about getting two and setting up a random flow with them.

I have them on else mode on both sides of the tank. Gives me a very good random flow. I didn't sync them, as I felt the flow was better without the "wireless" feature.
