Stocking two 350g FOWLRs

[WanderingAlbatross]

Good morning all!

I've been refining my stocking lists for my two large FOWLRs, and I wanted some feedback.

1st 350g

BLUE HIPPO TANG X2
EMPEROR ANGEL X 2
LUNARE WRASSE X2
BLUETHROAT TRIGGER X2

2nd 350g

ZEBRA EEL X2
SNOWFLAKE EEL X2
VOLITAIN LION X2
FUSILIER X2
CLOWN TANG X2

These grow up to be decent-sized fish, and I don't plan on rehoming them unless it's an emergency. Fish-wise, are these tanks too full? I thought 4 eels might get a touch cramped, even in a long tank like this.

Or would I have room to add a pair or so more of something to each tank? I was tentatively thinking about cleaner wrasse, considering how big the rest of the stock gets.

Anything I should switch between the two? Any other ideas of other things I should add? I'd love to hear it! As always, feedback is appreciated.

Also, any recommendations on if a gem tang would be suitable for a reef?

Blessings

Gonna be a big bioload with them eels the zebras get 5 foot long

should be fine for space as long as you have good filtration

A porcupine puffer would do fine in either of those tanks. They always look so happy swimming around.

I was considering a species only tank with a pair of smaller puffers, but its good to know the larger ones are compatible. I've heard though that puffers can be nippy, and lion fins are sometimes targeted, though it seems to depend on the individual. Are large puffers the same way?

I personally wouldnt do 2 clown tangs in one tank. They commonly get very vicious as they mature and doubling your odds of ending up with a mean one in one tank is a recipe for disaster.

Gem tangs wouldn't be an issue in a reef or fowlr.
