Stocking for 425xl

[blalaw87]

Good Evening,

I had had my tank up and running for a couple months now with live rock and have the following in the tank:

-2 ocellaris clowns
-1 cleaner shrimp
-Some clean up crew which has some small hermit, 3-4 emerald crabs, some urchins

I also recently started adding some corals and have 2 different types of zoas and a pulsing xenia and and going to stick with lps and softy type corals. I am starting to looking at adding more fish and this is the list I have so far and wanted to get some suggestions on the list:

- 1 royal gramma
- 1 tomini tang
- Wrasses (Six Line, Melanurus, Yellow Corris) Not sure how many or what is a good number
- 3 Dispar Anthias
- 2 Firefish
- Watchman goby with pistol shrimp
- Flame Hawkfish

I don't have a massive aquascape and it only goes roughly halfway up the tank and some islands so I have a decent amount of swimming room at the moment for the fish. Any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks for the help and advice!

Should be fine, although you'll need to probably upgrade or rehome the tang at some point. I have a sixline and malanarus and they get along fine with all my reef inhabitants.

Orange Shoulder Tang
Foxface Tang
Sohal Tang
Copperband

Looks pretty good. I only see 1 issue, and it's the 6 line. If you want it, the 6 line should be the only wrasse. I would skip it, and get the other 2.

Should I be worried about the order. I won’t be doing it all at once. I thought I have read that the tang and the wrasse last?
