Reefer 350 Stocking List

[NMreef]

I am currently cycling a Red Sea Reefer 350 and would like your opinions on a stocking list and order of addition.

Total System Volume: Approximately 91 Gallons. Triton-style refugium sump.
Tank Length: 48"
Corals: Softie and LPS

I will be quarantining for four weeks in a 12.5 gallon tank.

1 Ocellaris Clown is already in my old 12.5 gallon tank and I will transfer her over when the cycle is complete. She is a bit "murdery" and has already taken out two mates. I am hoping the larger tank will help reduce the agression, or at least allow for an escape.

Additions:
1 Ocellaris Clown (for a total of two)
3 Pajama Cardinal Fish
1 Royal Gramma
1 Kole Tang or Bristletooth Tang
1 One-Spot Foxface
1 Watchman Goby/Shrimp Pair
.
.
After a year or so and stable copepod population
1 Green Mandarin

Do these fish seem like they would work together in a tank this size? If so, in which order should I add them.

Thanks for your help!

I wouldn’t add the second clown based on your clown’s track record. It’s best to add a pair at the same time. I’d just keep your clown as the only one and watch him carefully as you add other fish. Good luck!

Fish list seems just fine to me.. The clown is really the only variable. They can be territorial. But.. with the volume you have,I think you'll be just fine

The clown has been completely un-interested in non-clowns in the past, so hopefully I am good there.

I would recommend not to get the foxface. They get quite large, and use their venomous spines when cramped.

I would replace it with a yellow wrasse, and then add a fairy wrasse, hawkfish, or orchid dottyback.

Yeah, I did see that they get to 8" fully grown, which seems like a lot. Is there any particular order to add the other fish in my list? I am leaning against another clown unless I can re-home the one I have now and add two new ones.

Tang last, the others won't matter much.

I'm not a clown guy, so someone else will have to help you there.
