Stocking for a 125

[Datnerd14]

So my 125 has one maroon clownfish one yellow tang and one blue chromis (do to the now deceased snowflake eel eating the other blue chromis)

It also has a few mushroom corals and four bubble tip anemones (due to splitting )

So I was thinking about adding zoas to the tank and possibly a bubble or hammer coral

The tank has been running for several years

What fish and corals would you recommend for my tank

Sounds like you're pretty light on bio-load, so you should have a pretty large selection of what could be added. There are some things to avoid due to your existing population (other similar tangs, mostly), but there are still a lot of fish out there to pick from...

The corals listed sound totally fine, just have to make sure that your light and flow is proper (which they likely are, but always worth checking).

Do you like wrasses there are many beautiful wrasse to choose from. I especially love the mystery wrasse. Anthias are also very colorful but need several feedings throughout the day.

The anemones have been in this tank for years and it’s run on leds I was hoping for some smaller colorful fish but I don’t want to risk it on damsels

What about a harlequin tusk and a few more smaller fish like chromis

Wrasses. You could add a couple flasher wrasses, a couple fairy, and maybe a yellow coris and still be well within your bio load limits. A royal gramma could add some color. All are relatively small and active fish. You could do a small harem of anthias as suggested above in addition to the wrasses but they generally require a higher level of care that you have to be able to meet.

All depends on ur luck but one of the smaller tangs could work ... wrasses will work and they are a lot of colors you can choose from that are reef safe ..

 

[Datnerd14]

Ok what would be a good stocking with wrasses

I love my melanurus wrasse. Very colorful and always out picking at things. I also haven't seen a bristle worm since I put it in ;Joyful

 

[Datnerd14]

So I’m thinking a pair of wrasse a larger goby about six green chromis and something larger possibly a dwarf angel but I’ve heard they sometimes eat the corals

So any ideas for a larger show fish

Swallowtail angelfish .. I have this angel very nice looking and doesn’t even look at my corals .. eats more Nori than anything thinking he one of the tangs since all his tankmates are tangs

Cool thanks I’m thinking this for right now

1yellow tang
1 sleeper gold head goby
1 trio of zebra barred darts
1 harptail blenny
1 maroon clown
7 green chromis
1 long nose hawkfish

For corals
Zoas/palys
Bubble coral
Favia brains
Bubble tip anemones


So I’m wanting to rescale my rocks and I was wondering how can I do it with doing the least amount of stress for the btas as possible
