mix of fish recommended

[lriddell]

i have a 125 and am looking for recommendations of fish that are reef safe... with that being said I have 2 clowns a yellow tang and 3 chromis.. let the list begin... also i have a sand bed

If it were mine, I'd go with a male blue throat trigger, a bellus angel, and a possibly a pair of leopard wrasse. The wrasse would depend on how deep your sand bed is. If its not at least 3-4" deep, leave the wrasse out as they are burrowers (is that a word?). If its not, maybe a small school of anthias. Whatever kind you find that you like. Personally I like the jewel lyretail. Maybe a Green Mandarin dragonette as well if you have a good pod population. Well, I guess that would be my dream list. Good luck with your stocking.

bump...

Fair wrasse, 6-Line Wrasse, Bi-color blenny, jawfish are all neat reef safe fish. You could try another species of tang. To keep the peace, I would stay away from another Zebrasoma sp.

what about boxfish? are they reef safe?

The largest problem with Boxfish is they release toxins when stressed that could potentially nuke your tank. I would definitely run lots of carbon if you consider one. Never had one in a reef so I am not sure if they nibble on corals.
