Dreaming the dream

[Red254]

I'm planning an upgrade to a 120 mixed reef but mainly sps down the road but today I spent most of my day dreaming trying to come up with a stocking list but can't narrow down my list.

First off my current stock that will be transferred to the 120:
2 occ clowns
1 royal gramma
1 mandarin
1 yellow banded possum wrasse
1 cleaner shrimp
Assorted hermits, snails


Wish list that needs to be narrowed down:
Yellow eye kole tang
Yellow tang
Copper band butterfly
Red velvet fairy wrasse
Redhead Solon fairy wrasse
Pyramid butterfly
Trio of lyretail anthais (1male and 2 females)
Flame hawkish
Coral beauty ( I know most likely bad idea but I really like em)

The only one I'm certain that I really want is the yellow eye kole tang but other then that I'm up in the air

Im also daydreaming of my 220 upgrade, but I focus more on the design such as , automation, sump design (fuge, scrubber, skimmer, etc), equipment list, aquascape, overflow, plumbing...

Do you have it planned out?

hmm. If it were me Id get the kole tang or yellow. Skip the other tang and both butterflies. The Flame Hawk may make a meal of the cleaner shrimp

Yea I have the equipment planned out, ive been planning it for months now but between an upcoming move and shortage of $$$ right now , I'm slowing acquiring the equipment for the build just not a possibility to put it all together right now

have to be careful with the copper band! they are fussy eaters. i bought one for aptasia control and he took care of buisness but could not get him to eat anything else!!!!

Yea I've read that about CBB but I would be careful about finding one
