Shallow reef stocking recomendatiosn

[shiftline]

Hey Guys, I'm upgrading my 30g to a 100g in the next few month

Current Stock:
2x Perc clowns
1x azzure damsel
1x Banggai cardinal
1x blue line cleaner
1x fire shrimp and misc creatures

Future tank: 66"L x 20"w x 18" H

ontop of my current stock i'm thinking of adding a few chromis, 1-2 more banggais, dwarf angel (coral beauty or flame?) and possibly a yellow tank/hippo tang...

I'm looking for suggestions or substitutions on the stocking list. The tank will be about 5.5' long and rimless so lots of swimming space but i want to avoid anything that is known to be a jumper.

I appreciate any input/feedback.

If you are going to add another banggai, I would just add one, but make sure it is of the opposite sex. Even a 100g tank will be too small for a hippo tang as they need very large tanks, but I think a yellow tang would do fine

Oh, and make sure you have a good QT protocol if you are adding chromis especially

Are Chromis prone to issues ? I was thinking of adding a small school of them first once cycled


Just one banggai is fine. I'm 95% sure it's female bases in the little vents

chromis has a tendency to kill each other until you have 1 left

Is that only the in small tanks? I have seen a few people with small schools. How many would you recommend for my tank?

Trust me in salt, any tank under 180 gallons is regarded smallish

Chromis are highly susceptible to Uronema, a very very nasty disease. This is why people recommend QT'ing them, and QT'ing all fish should be a priority as you go bigger. I'd say add three chromis, as in our tanks you won't get schooling, only shoaling. I'm not sure about Anthias, as I practically know nothing about anthias, but some other experts will chime in i'm sure.
I'd add a Whitetail Bristletooth tang!
