FOWLR stock list

[Thomas Gregory]

I'm about to be finished setting up my first SW tank (180g FOWLR) and this is what an idea i have for stocking. It is completely flexible i was just wondering what some people thought about it and not in any kind of order.

1 Flame Angel
1 Coral Beauty Angel
1 Snow Flake Eel
1 Foxface lo
1 Porcupine Puffer
1 Naso tank w/ or w/o streamers
1 Purple Tang
1 Yellow Tang
1 Red Tail Trigger
1 Humu Picasso Trigger
1 Blue Throat Trigger
1 6 Line Wrasse
1 Harlequin Tusk
1 Bird Wrasse

I really want the Tusk but it is all can change. I'm also not sure what i should add first or what i should add together. I live about 45 min from LA, CA so it shouldn't be any problem getting quality fish.

About my tank.
180G w/ 60g sump and fuge. live rock and special grade reef sand and i do have a secure lid that protects the overflows as well from jumpers and escape artists.

Let me know what you think.

I'd keep the Humu trigger out since it can get aggressive. All the other fish are fine just make sure you add the yellow and purple tangs together at the same time. Harlequin tusks aren't that aggressive just make sure he's one of your last editions.

i really like triggers, is there another one i could add instead of the Humu Picasso, or should i just stick with 2? On the Tusk I thought you should add less aggressive fish first so they have time to adapt to the tank before someone else comes in and takes it over. I also read that the Harlequin tusk can sometimes have a hard time acclimating to a new tank with not eating and susceptible to parasites. I was thinking it might be best to add him first. but if not what should i be looking at to add first. I was also thinking about adding maybe 3 at first and then slowly building off of that.

Thanks for the help.

You can try to get a blue and female blue throated triggers.

Luckily I had a harlequin tusk and it ate well. Just make sure they feed it before you buy it.
