New member
ok i am upgrading tank size debating on upgrading my reef vs one of my fowlr

which fish would you NOT put in a reef with the following corals and why (based upon coral and shrimp compatibility major fish compatibility issue or tank size issue)

have = currently have in one of my 4 tanks

mushrooms have
zoanthids (????)
colts/leathers have


have fish list that i want in the upgrade tank
regal angel
scribbled angel
false personifer angel
yellow tang
blonde naso tang
convict tang
moorish idol

fish i will get for the upgrade tank
black long nose tang
magnificent foxface
atlantic blue tang


fish i would like to have for upgrade
naso unicorn tang
pwd. blue or brown tang


i am not shutting down any tank so i can add fish based upon my particular fish attitude/size and new fish size ect


new tank will be 10 x 3 x 3..wanted 12 ft but the major price difference between 10 and 12 is unjustifiable for me
 
You've got quite a bit of angels. Angels are gorgoeous but at best are "Reef Caution" fish. Same thing with the foxface. They can and do nip at corals and invertebrates. I see you have mostly softies listed as coral, but I would stock the fish carefully so that I can put any coral I want with impunity. Just my .02.
 
well the angels WILL be in the tank upgrade thats the reason for the upgrade and the reef vs fowlr for the upgrade as well as the i will get for upgrade fish and might throw my purple tang in the mix as well...

tank upgrade is still in the works i want a 12ft but can probably only get a 10 footer because the price jump from 10 to 12 ft is HUGE, currently have a 7ft, two 6footers and a 4ft reef running
