130 gallon stocking ideas

[Jsquarz]

I’m going to be starting up a 130 gallon fowlr to upgrade from my 33 gallon reef. I’ve got some fish in mind and wanted some peice of mind onto what everyone thinks or opinions on what you think? My current ideas for fish are

spotfin lionfish
Fox face
Snowflake eel
Niger trigger
Yellow eyed kole tang
2-3 lyretail anthias

Love the antenatta lion!
What are the dimensions?

Since it’s a FOWLR, maybe a racoon butterfly.

Hi there! Yeah wasn’t sure if I could anymore fish. Tank dimensions are 6ft long 2ft high and 21 inches wide

Yes I I’ve always wanted one so thought this be the perfect chance. Wasn’t sure if I could add a fish or two more?

I would add a wrasse or two (I’d avoid the peaceful ones though and stick to the aggressors of that family with those fish). I think you should stick with those fish for now, maybe a butterfly or two and see if you can keep the tank stable with those fish being such heavy bioload fish. If you can keep it stable for a while then I’d recommend slowly adding more to the mix.

You have some big and messy fish, so I would put a good skimmer in the sump and an algae scrubber if you have room.

You might be able to add something, but you are limited to big fish so they won't be eaten.

I would definitely skip the trigger
- territorial/aggressive
- really gets too large & territorial for a 130
- most importantly, it is a threat to the lion

It is slightly better than some other species but still, if you REALLY want a trigger, I'd suggest a blue-throat or any xanthichthys sp. instead.
