Quantity of Fish

[MAX260]

Hi All,

I have a Red Sea Max e260 with the 95 Ltr Sump upgrade, Total 355 Ltr. I have 1 pair of common clowns and 1 Fox Face.

Would it be ok for either a Yellow or Regal tang is this setup? I plan to have 1 or 2 more fish as this will be a dominate SPS coral mixed reef ?

Also a clean up crew will be added in the next few days, the usual hermits/ snails etc

Tank up and running for over a month

Ammonia 0.0
Nitrite 0.0
Nitrate 0.0
PH 8.2
Temp 26 deg C
Salinity 1.025

Red sea Reefer 600
Red Sea Reef Mat
Red Sea Reef Led x2

Small one from either is fine but he will outgrow it in a few years.

I thought this, and just need a nudge to keep me on track. It has been 15 years from last Reef Keeping .

Thank you

So it's a 70 gallon tank, is this a long term stocking? Or planning on rehoming in a year or two?

I've had a couple of foxfaces before both housed with a regal tang at different times, in a 6 foot 120 tank. The foxfaces grow fast, both topped out around 8 inches. It seemed my second foxface competed better at feeding time...my regal tang was less aggressive in her later years (15+) and the foxface was getting most of the food. I think both my foxfaces lived to around 6 years old.

Hi FF

Yes, it will be for a year or so until i get permission from the good lady to upgrade to a decent size. I think i am going to go for a Naso (lipstick) Tang instead. Again both will be moved in a couple of years to a 6 foot Tank and a good sized sump.
