Stocking ideas for 75 gal RIMLESS (no top) mixed reef

[rds85]

Looking for recommendations on a new fish and were to purchase them i am an active user of livaquaria and vivid aquariums because i trust them but i am looking to reach out to maybe another supplier.
Currently i have:
1 Kole Tang
1 mated snowflake pair
1 green mandarin
1 Yasha goby with candy cane pistol

I love my SPS so angels might be a stretch! but still open minded

Leopard wrasses r awesome. I have a melagris and an ornate in my 75g. Also maybe a male and female bangaii (or just 1). U could also add a school of bar gobies, or lyrtail anthias or dispar anthias. Also a royal gramma, fire fish pair, ect... There are so many choices. But all the ones i listed i am pretty sure u can get them from liveaquaria.

The only issue with the fire fish is the jumping potential they have! I agree leopard wrasses are awesome but they are never in stock!!! I am thinking about dipping in to the anthias group, but just worried about the constant feeding that is required by them. I have to work at least 8 hours a day like the majority of people and i don't know if i can get enough feedings in a day to keep them healthy.

Sent feeding is an issue for u, i would get the dispars. I work at least 8 hours as well. But the key is 2 feed them as often and as much as u can. So i feed them when im getting ready, then when i leave, when i come back, and before lights go out. Also if the dispars eat flakes (which mine do), it will help get weight on them. So u dont have 2 worry about them 2 much.

Thanks fishmutt. i will see what i can do if i decide to go that route!

Does the mandarin eat frozen food or just living off of pods, if just pods I would stay away from wrasses as they would compete for food. If he does eat frozen then flasher and fairy wrasses add movement and color to a tank.
