55 gallon reef STOCKING help.

Hey guys,
I am setting up a 55 gallon reef tank and need some stocking ideas.
I have a 20 gallon nano tank right now with two O. Clowns so they will be going into the tank...other than that i need help.

All ideas will help!!

I was thinking maybe 3 Blue reef Chromis
My 2 clowns
1 mandarin (green or red probably)
and a fire fish

but i am really open to everything
I love flame angels but i dont know if it will work in the tank so let me know

Thanks!;D

 

This is a decent list to give you an idea of what can be used in various size tanks.

A flame angel will work fine in a 55. I actually just set up my 55 and added a flame Angel yesterday. We are in the same boat completely. I had 2 clowns and moved them into the tank, and just put the flame angel in. I am going for a purple fire fish and an a mandarin Dragonet in about 9 months to a year (I want to give PODS time to develop in the fuge).

 

Thanks!
Any other ideas?
im open to completely new fish too

 

Gobies, Assessors, Basslets, Flasher Wrasses, smaller Fairy Wrasses, Possum Wrasses, "comical" Blennies, etc. But if you do go with any of the mentioned Wrasses, you may not be able to get a Mandarin as they will compete for pods.

 

Fairy wrasses are pretty awesome! I like gobies as well for interest on the bottom. Seems I'm always suggesting this but I love the goby/pistol shrimp combos. I also really like hawkfish.

 

Thanks guys.

Does anyone have any other ideas...or like complete lists of what should go in

Thank you!

 

I thought I gave quite a few ideas...but why would you want someone to completely stock your tank? Share what you are thinking so far and we can help from there
