Stocking suggestions

[burkleman]

Alright, so I just set up a 75g reef tank, planning on predominantly sps and lps. I would like some suggestions on what to stock fish wise. I have a list of what I would really like and I will probably upgrade tanks in like 2-3 years.

Preferred list:
large angle,
1-2 tangs of different shape
1 or 3 small angles
and a few fairy wrasses

I would like to keep the per fish cot under $150, and with I would plan on adding the like fish at the same time to help prevent aggression. I have had one of each, all at the same time in my previous 75g so that is not a worry at this point for me. Thanks in advance for the help and suggestions.

I can't suggest any large angel or tang for a 75g tank.

No matter if you say you will be upgrading to a bigger tank, things can come in the way preventing the upgrade. On that note, I don't recommend getting no Large Angel or Tangs for that size tank. Once you upgrade then get them! You can do 1 Dwarf Angel, Reef-Safe Wrasses, Blennys, Gobys, a small Hawfish, Clownfish. Plus with your Large and Dwarf Angels they are hit or miss as for nipping/eating your corals.

If I were setting up a 75g, this is what I'd do:
Yellow tang
Melanarus wrasse
Flame hawkfish
Potter's angel
Clown pair
Midas blenny

Most will probably say that's too many, but hey, that's what I'd do. Regardless, look into each of those fish, some of my favorites.

Nice list ^^^ except for the Tang. Maybe a Chalk Bass to replace it.

Chalk bass are awesome.
