Tank set back up

[welshgazz]

Hey all, do I have moved house and taken time to set the tank back up. Unfortunately only 1 fish survived which was not a disaster as only 2 in there. Some rocks have maintained hair algae which is still a Grr with phosphate at 0.1 and nitrate at 0.5 I was hoping it would die back. Lights are on from 10am until 7pm for 2 blue bulbs and 12pm until 4pm for white and 50/50 bulb as well.

Livestock

Currently in the tank I have

From original tank:

Longnose hawkfish

Boxer shrimp

Tuxedo urchin

Mexican turbo snail

3 nassarius snails

1 strawberry conch

New addition

6 small red legged hermits.

Proposed additions over next few months

Being bought this week :

Royal gramma

Kole tang

Future additions

Coral beauty

Foxface

Red shrimp

Cleaner shrimp

Trochus snails

Thinking the tank will be OK with those fish but opinions are welcome. Not sure if I could add anything else was thinking small shoal (3/4) chromis. But the tang and Foxface could grow big so tank space is in my thoughts.

I have corals transferred on too so its going to be reef setup.

Tank is 80 gallon
40kg live rock
Deltec mce600 skimmer
4 t5 bulbs 54w each 2 blue, 1white 1 50/50

First thought...not enough light..and second the tank is kinda small for a tang and a foxface.

Besides too small a tank to house tang & foxface, you might consider one or the other. They are both herbivores and will fight over food - it's hit & miss if they'ld get along. Some folks get lucky. Just a thought...
