stock list and adding order

AandR · Jan 14, 2023

New and starting out! We are stocking our Reef LX 190. and were planning on adding dwarf angels and Tangs later but they haven't been available and are now. Too crazy to add them at the beginning? Right now we have only emerald crab, hermit crabs, Trochus snails and a blood red Fire shrimp and Copepods. our eventual goal is:

Nessarius snail
skunk shrimp
Pyramid butterfly fish**
Fire fish (2)
Coral beauty
Flame angel **
purple tang or other tang
Cole eye tang
Fox face
Clownfish (2)
wrasses (unsure kind)
Royal gramma**
Scarlet hawk fish
Shrimp goby/pistol shrimp ( maybe?)
Blennie (herbavore one)
*Wish Mandarin Goby

Welcome! Glad you joined. Post #4 in this thread has great info already for you, so I defer there.

Have you considered starting your build thread? I found its a great place to document my tank's evolution for myself. I started tank first then joined, so I'm still finding myself going back collecting pictures & updating historically as well as current state. Once you create your first post in your thread under Forum > Member Aquariums and link it to your account, they will give you build badge (look left, under my ID). It is never too early to start, and you've already even added your fire shrimp!

This might help you find people local to you in Alberta:
