Stocking a 6-foot 150

[rompininphx]

Im upgrading my 90g to a 150g next month and have a stock list in mind, but im not sure if it would be too loaded. The tank is 72x24x20.


Current Fish:
Melanurus Wrasse
2x Onyx Clown
3x Chromis
Powder Brown - will not be going in new tank, too aggressive

Additions:
Copperband
2x Pyramid Butterfly
2 more Chromis
Kole Tang
Midas Blenny
2x Spotbreast Angelfish
Potters Wrasse
2x Flame Wrasse

I haven't had problems with chromis picking eachother off, ive had these 3 for over a year

My only comment is that I would only do one Flame Wrasse. I have yet to see a M-F pair stay that way longterm. The female will turn male and then more than likely the two males will turn into one. So I would just get a single young female/juvenile and let it turn male on its own. Otherwise, assuming you have a sandbed and the tank is covered 100%, I like the list!

Also, let your tank settle down and get established before adding the potters wrasse. He will benefit from letting the pod population mature and stabilize.

Ok ill just go with one flame wrasse and Ill wait a few months on adding the potters. Itll help that Im adding alot of established liverock and macro from my 90

kinda shocked to hear your powder brown is to aggressive, i had one in a 125g and it was very docile. could care less about other fish in the tank. just did his own thing

Yea hes not even close to full size and likes to chase my melanurus around alot. I really want a copperband and think he'd bully it to death
