I am just starting a 265 gallon (7' x 2' W x 3' H) mixed reef tank with a sump, skimmer, and LED lights. This list is just the beginning of my thoughts and would like your input and ones to remove from the list and ones I haven't thought of to add:
2x Diamond watchman Goby or other type of sand sifting Goby (thoughts on other types?)
1x Blue Tang
If you are thinking hepatus tang, I would discourage this in favor of a different species
?x Blue/Green Chromis (your previous posts have made me reconsider a large group, maybe a group of anthias, suggestions type and number)
As a group, anthias work out much better
2x Ocellaris Clownfish (possibly a second pair of the kind that are mostly black witj some orange, have seen a few different names for them, and am not really set on having a second pair, just curious if I could)
only one pair of clownfish
1x Six Line Wrasse
I would discourage this fish
1x Yellow Tang
add absolutely last
1x White Tail Bristletooth Tang
1x Kole Tang
1x Melanurus Tang
I never heard of this or did you mean wrasse? If so, shrimp are on the menu
1x Scotter Blenny
these are actually dragonets; wait until the tank is mature
1x Cleaner Wrasse (or are cleaner shrimp just as effective?)
neither prevent or cure parasites; anthias love cleaner shrimp
1x Chevron Tang
1x Some type of clam
?x Urchin?
?x Starfish?
1x Arrow Crab
can take fish
1x Emerald Crab
can take fish
1x Coral Banded Shrimp
can take fish
1x Pederson Shrimp
?x Peppermint Shrimp
?x Cleaner shrimp
Could you also reccomend the types and number for a cleanup crew.
I composed parts of this list from research on the benefits of certain species, but do not
know enough about how they would work as a group. Could you also recommend which species to add first and which to add last, as I imagine it will take over a year to add them
Thanks
