So my new-to-me 120 gallon has finished its cycle. Now comes the fun part - stocking plan!
For now, I'll be moving over some basic beginner corals from an existing tank (Shrooms, GSP, Zoas), and will be looking to venture into more of an LPS-oriented mixed reef (perhaps 1-2 SPS down the road).
Any advice you have on 1) The livestock selections 2) Overall stocking level, and 2) Tips for introduction (ex: ideal order to introduce to the tank) would be hugely helpful.
2x Ocellaris Clownfish (moving from existing 30 gallon)
1x Royal Gramma (moving from existing 30 gallon)
1x Rose BTA
1x Kole Tang (Yellow Eye Tang)
1x Powder Blue Tang
1x Blue Spot Puffer (note the lack of inverts on this plan!)
1x Mandarin Goby (waiting ~1 year for him, though)
This above is about the most I'd really want to stock. If you think there is more headroom, then other livestock I'd be interested in:
Blue Dot Jawfish
Several Anthias
6-Line Wrasse
Lawnmower Blenny (never had good luck getting them to eat prepared foods, so I am hesitant)
