Stock Order Question

[clark griswold]

I’m hoping to have four fish in either 60 gallon cube or 65 long.

2 clowns
1 Flame Hawk
1 Coral Beauty Angel

Will that work with this tank size? Should the hawk or angel be added first?

Also do you have to have a clean up crew? How do you quarantine those?

Clowns, hawk, angel.

I suggest for a 60 cube a Pygmy, fireball, or flameback angel. Flameback is my first choice slightly more reef safe IME than the fireball and lots of personality/color.

The above order is great.

You can qt inverts by having them without fish for 72days.

72 days? I thought it was 76 days

With those four fish, I’m not sure that order of introduction really matters much.

What if I wanted no CUC? Would that be bad? If I go through the trouble of quarantining my fish I really don't want risk it with CUC bringing something in and I really don't want a clean up crew anyway. I guess what I'm asking is can you have a successful algae free tank with out them if you dose like NOPOX or something.

It is absolutely possible to have a clean tank w/o a cuc.
