If you had a 100G, what fish would you stock it with?

[Kinetic]

Just curious to see if you had a 100G tank, with great filtration etc. and a full blown SPS reef tank, what would you stock it with in terms of fish?

 

[SDguy]

Lots of anthias. Maybe a swallowtail angel of some sort. Tomini tang. Pair of clowns. Pair of pseudochromis. Pair of shrimp gobies...

I prefer multiple specimens of the same species...I find it more pleasing to the eye than a jumble of many different fish. JMO.

I would stock it with gobies, blennies, dragonettes and some anthias and chromises, and lots of corals and inverts, small colorful and busy fish to change the view and nature of the tank at every angle.

i like the idea of keeping a bunch of small nano fish. makes the tank look even bigger and more diverse.

I have a 100g, and am planning on the anthias, maybe a genicanthus angel (but probably not), a tang of some sort, two percula clowns, a firefish, goby, blenny, and maybe a wrasse.

A pair of flame angels
A pair of Herald's angels
1 coral beauty
1 Singpore angel
A pair of spotted mandarins
5-7 dispar anthias
2 blackcap basslets
A pair of pink skunks
3 Pomacentrus damsels - probably Allensi
1 Fairy wrasse - maybe Lubbock's
1 Watanabe or Lamark's angel
Midas blenny
Mimic blenny or tailspot

Very similar to what I have now - and yes if the angels nibble a little on the corals I can live with it, but I know everybody wouldn't agree

Oh, and I guess I might have to sell off the SPS corals if I couldn't keep the phosphates down

Sorry I guess it's starting to sound like I'm stocking the wrong reef

all of those fish in one 100g tank? i think that might be too much?

 

[Kinetic]

what about something like this, or would that be too many?

5 A. parvulus Cardinalfish
3 barlett anthias (4 fem, 1 male)
3 trimma gobies
3 eviota gobies
2 ocellaris clownfish
1 purple firefish
1 regular firefish
1 yasha haze goby
1 randalli goby
1 highfin goby
1 mandarinfish
1 tailspot blenny

Sounds like we're going to have very similar tanks

Yeah, maybe you're right, might have to pass on the Wantanabe

If you mean for an SPS reef, I suppose you're right, but those are all fairly small fish - no large angels or tangs...the damsels are the tiny kind & the pink skunks would stick to their anemone... & the rockwork would be free standing so the angels could swim all the way around & in and out of caves & hidey holes

1 Powder Blue Tang
1 Regal Angel
4 Bartletts Anthias

will a PBT be ok in a 100G? I thought they needed at least a 180g tank.

 

[Horizon Canopy]

i wouldn't put a pbt in a 100G (I'm assuming 4ft). I would definately recommend at least a 6' tank for PBT.

I would stock a 100G with:
Pair of lineatus wrasse, labouti wrasse, 5 blue eyed cardinals.

 

[stykthyn]

anyone have some pics of a large tank stocked with nano fish?
