So I will be upgrading from my 55 gal reef to a 125 reef ready tank (standard 72"x18"x22") however hwo many inches high idk i just know its not any more than 24".
I am looking for suggestions for my stock list for fish, cant be any shrimp eating fish like hawks or dottybacks otherwise I would totally do a marine betta.
Here is what I have in the 55 that is going over to the 125.
-1 Tomini tang ~3"
-2 Occ clowns
-2 blue/green chromis
Fish Im thinking of
-1 other tang? maybe a purple, I wish I could do a shoal of 3 yellow tangs but too much for the 125
.. I would prefer if I could add another tomini tang or two. I always prefer to not limit a fish to only 1 per tank. may be weird of me I guess I feel bad? lol sounds dumb i would assume.
-Maybe instead of the tang I would do a pair of angels like bellus angels. Or take chance with dwarf angels.
-I like flasher wrasses, I was thinking a harem of mccoskers or carpenters.
-some type of gobies to help sift up a sand bed. (diamonds or white sandsifters) I would like to do more than one
-Down the road I kind of want to add 1 or 2 dragonets but would look for tank bred ones.
-Copperband butterfly, I saw online a good way to feed them, shucking a littleneck clam and attaching it to a rock so it would eat it. Very easy for me to do this.
Besides the fish, I will be looking to add to my
- 1 blood red cleaner shrimp
- 1 scarlet cleaners.
I would add one of each pretty much.
than I may end up adding my two gold coral banded shrimp from my nano into the tank as well
Corals will be mostly LPS and Softies, I have a couple sps frags that will be transfering over but I enjoy the differences of LPS and softies more, only SPS I may want to add is a montipora.
