I'm in the planning stages of setting up a reef right now, and was hoping for some guidance in terms of fishes I intend to eventually keep. Right now I'm figuring on a tank size of somewhere between 75-100 gallons, with lots of LR and a DSB, plus sump and probably refugium.
My "wish list" for fishes:
1-3 Yellowhead Jawfish (Opistognathus aurifrons)
1 Banggai Cardinalfish (Pterapogon kauderni)
1 Firefish (Nemateleotris magnifica) or Purple Firefish (Nemateleotris decora)
1-2 Shrimp Gobies (undecided on species) with Pistol or other symbiotic shrimp
1 Royal Gramma (Gramma loreto)
1-2 Percula or Ocellaris Clownfish (Amphiprion percula or ocellaris)
What would be an appropriate tank size for a group of such fishes? Also, would you suggest any changes in stocking order from the order I have them listed?
I'm also interested in a small school of blue or blue/green chromis (6-8 fish), a blenny (undecided on species), a sixline or flasher wrasse, and possibly a pygmy angel (flame or coral beauty) if i decided to risk it in a reef. However, would I need a substantially larger tank for these in addition to the first list?
Thanks for any input!
