Stock List for a 180g Reef System: Some advice, please!

[dperrotta]

Hello guys!

Cheers from México DF! I´m a brazilian guy, leaving in Mexico and always in love with this amazing hobby!

I would like to bother you as I will start cycling may new 180g reef system in a couple of weeks and I have a doubt concerning my stock list and also their entry ordering. I intend to have all type of corals as well just as a reference.

Here are so far my finalists in order of entrance:

Midas blenny
Gramma Loreto
Orchid dottyback
Blue jaw trigger (a pair)
Maroon Clowfish (a pair)
Yellow Tang or Chevron Tang (any suggestions?)
Achilles Tang (the tangs as a last at the same time)

That would make a total of "only" 9 fishes but with 4 big ones . I tried to consider, of course, all aspects as compability, adult fish size, etc. Mi idea was to have an average agreesive comunity, with imponent fishes that I love as the trigger, maroon and Achilles.

However, as I am coming back to rrefs after 4 years, and I only managed nano befores, of course I still have a lot of doubts and your feedback would be great and priceless for me.

Thank you in advance for helping this "big tank newbie"!

Achiles Tangs are hard to care for i heard.. man, looking at your stock list, i must be overpopulated

Hi chueu,
Thanks for your reply!

I just saw you also have a 180g tank... would you mind sharing your stock list? If a keep only one tang (The YT or Chevron) and replazing Achiles per another fish as the flame angel. Do you think it would be overpopulated?

thsnks,
Diego

I think what chueu had in mind was that his stocklist is waay longer than yours. I think you can afford couple more beautiful fish without problem. I have 19 fish in my 130g including 2 small sized tangs and a foxface.
