    My 75g is in the middle of a cycle. Figured this is a good time to start thinking about what fish I can eventually keep in here. I know to add slowly over time, but these are just the fish that caught my eye when I was browsing today.

    Is this too many? Does anything jump out as being not compatible with the others? Id like to get them while they're young and small. Thanks for any advice

    Pair of clowns
    Blue Tang

    Foxface Lo (i know its not 100% reef safe, but some have had luck with them. and they look really cool!)
    Fairy Wrasse
    Green Clown Goby
    Green or Spotted Mandarin



    I also like the blue linckia sea star, banded coral shrimp, and of course assorted crabs and snails

    The only problem I see is the Linkia. They have a very specialized diet that has not been documented and rarely do well in tanks. Banded corals become very aggressive as they get larger and may make a meal out of or kill the Goby and Mandarin.

    I don't think I would go with any more than that. When the tang and Foxface reach adult size you will most likely be overloaded.
