Suggestions for my 46 gal Bowfront?

[coreno16]

Alright,
I'm looking for suggestions on stocking my tank. It's going to be a SPS/LPS reef with a clam or two, so all fish need to be reef safe. I currently have a Female Solor Fairy wrasse and i am set on getting a male to go with here.

I was thinking about possibly a pair of onyx clowns, and a bali tiger jawfish. Thoughts?

I would also like to find a smaller fish that will eat algea. Maybe a Dawrf Angel? And, if possibe, a few smaller fish of the same speces.

Also, an upgrade to a larger tank may be in the next 2 years or so.

Anyways, I'm open to any and all suggestions....



Thanks,

Cory

Thanks for the input. I've already been eying rods site. His clowns look exceptional. I've heard that lawnmower blenny's can sometimes have the tendency to nip at clams? I could be wrong. Has anyone have any bad experiances with them? Keep the suggestions comming


Thanks,

Cory

I havnt had a problem with mine, but I dont have any clams. I do have some sps and quite a few LPS and they peck at the algea that grow on the skeleton, but the corals themselves dont seem to mind.

Gotta be a Flame Angel.... though a Bicolor would be nice if you can get one that eats...

Alittle update. Im definatly going to get the pair of Solor Faries, and im pretty positive about the pair of onyx clowns.

Does anyone have experiance with a Bali Tiger Jawfish? Also , how do you think a potter's angel would do? If i decide not to risk it with the angel then ill probably get the blenny. Let me know what you think so far, and feel free to make some more suggestions.

Thanks,


Cory

Hey, both the angel and the blennies can be a hit and miss with clams , do some reading in the tridacnid forum and youll see what i mean , if you got your mind set on a angel then get a geniacanthus species , supposedly reef safe
