200G New Tank Stocking

[littlefoxx]

Convicts are hit and miss and many will simply starve and perish due to suspected method capture especially those from Sri Lanka.
Consider 4-5 tangs max as the tank once filled with rock, etc- your water volume will be maybe 90-95 gallons

I didnt know that was effecting them too? What other fish are suspected to have this issue from Shi Lanka?

 

[littlefoxx]

4-5 is more than enough for me to smile every day, thank you! what is your favorite tang and why?

I know you didnt ask me lol but I gotta share my favorite! This is Gemma my naso tang. She makes me smile and shes a very active fish. Will eat out of my hand too! Always out and about. Had her since she was the size of a half dollar coin.

[littlefoxx]

So I posted asking for tank recommendations a few days back, thank you for all of your responses!

I decided to order the IM external overflow Peninsula 200 gallon complete reef system.

• Dimensions: 30" x 70.9" x 21.7"

I was going to go with a 100-125 originally but decided I might as well go big now since I can (and I want a tang or two). 74 gallon sump, tunze master DOC 9410 protein skimmer, tunze 3155 ato, 2 Radion XR30 G6, LPS dominant.

I’m not too educated on stocking a large tank as this is my first one so if this is too much or if some fish would go better with others please let me know. I am also open to other suggestions.

I am flexible, however, I DEFINITELY want a yellow tang, a yellow scopas tang, gem tang, potters angel, and long fin clowns, I’m hoping that can work at least.

Thanks in advance,

Also another suggestion is two foxfaces @i cant think has 3 together and it inspired me to add a bi color to my existing magnificent. It went super well for me too and shes actually made my magnificent more confident and out more!

 

[littlefoxx]

Also a pyramid butterfly is a really cool fish to consider

Do you have corals in the tank with the pryarmid? They are so pretty but fearful of the nipping. But in your experience has it nipped and how heavy do you feed?
