Stocking suggestions for a 75 Gallon and 15 Gallon

[Damion123]

Hi every one
I have two tanks that I want to add some fish to.

A 75 gallon mixed reef that currently has a Tomini Tang. The tank has been up for over 2 years. Here is what I was thinking to add: Royal Gramma, 3 Banggai Cardinals, starry blenny and a wrasse. Maybe a long nose Hawk or Mandarin

A 15 gallon that has been up for 5 months. I got this tank mainly to house a bubble tip nem and rock flower. I already have two clowns that I will be adding as soon as I can catch them. I was thinking of adding a clown goby

Any suggestions for either tank would be much appreciated.

75 - That's mostly okay.
The tang and starry blenny will likely hate each other.
The cardinals will likely become a m/f pair and not tolerate the other one.

I'd do something like:
Tomini
Gramma
2 Cardinals
Pink spot watchman goby
Melanurus wrasse
long nose hawk
mandarin

15 - I think that will be fine. A clown pair will own a 15 gallon, but probably tolerate a small clown goby.

Thanks for the input. I didn't know tangs and starry bennies usually fight. I always liked the melanurus wrasse. Do you think the mandarin and long nose are too much

Can I put the long nose hawk in the same tank as the two clowns instead of the clown goby, or is that tank too small?

The issue with tangs and blennies seems to be only with Ctenochaetus genus tangs and lawnmower type blennied.

Mandarin and long nose won't be too much.

That hawk does get too big for a 15 gallon. You could keep it in there until it grows a bit, if it comes in small.

I would not add any fish to the 15 other than the pair of clowns.
I have a pair of clowns in my 30 and they are much happier alone now that the other 3 have been removed.

Those clowns will probably kill the goby in that 15.

Your 75 has been running for two years with only one fish? And your gonna add all that. That tang may terrorize everything you add.

Looks like the blenny has to come off the list then. Any other algae eater I can add?

Actually the 75 has the two clowns and the Tomini Tang. My plan is to transfer the clowns to the 15 since that is where I have the Nems. Do you think I will have a problem with aggression if I add all those fish I was planning on adding at one time? Am I screwed?

If you can add several at a time, that would be best

What about adding damsels to the 15 gallon with the two clowns?
