Getting ready to start stocking my 72g DT (info see thread in sig). All fish will be QT'ed via a Formalin Dip (unless they look ultra stressed), followed by TTM then 6 weeks in an observation tank.
The tank currently has about 75# of TBS rock, there are countless emerald and porcelain crabs up to a dime, one 2-2.5" pistol shrimp, and a very small mantis shrimp. Since the brief cycle I have added a small CUC consisting of 5 turbo, 5 margarita and 2 fighting conchs, I have also added a peppermint shrimp and a cleaner shrimp.
Tank has a lot of skimmer and substrate is that arag alive special grade. I have not decided on corals yet, prob do a mix of some stuff, not too overcrowded.
I am curious about both the order of stocking and the overall load on the tank.
Fish:
QT this pair together
1. Orange-Back Fairy Wrasse or Lineatus Fairy Wrasse or other fairy Wrasse.
2. Yellow Prawn Goby
3. Helfrichi Firefish
4. A pair of clowns possibly true perc if I can locate and an anemone (not QT the anemone).
5. Flameback Angel
6. Kole Tang or White Tail Bristletooth Tang
I would like a second dwarf angel, but I realize a pair of dwarf angels might not be the smartest idea.
Your comments and time are appreciated.
