Fish/coral list!

In the hopes of making it a little better to read than a "wall of text" I uploaded it as a .docx file with pretty pictures.

I am just starting to cycle my tank, so I am thinking wayyyyyyyy down the road with the corals. Please let me know what you guys think. It's a 100 gallon corner tank with a 40 gallon sump/refugium. I think I have a few too many fish on there, but that's okay, I can take some away.

The tangs are all the wife. I am still trying to convince her that they will be too big, but apparently when some asian at the LFS says it's okay: that is the last word at the moment. haha.

I think the only dicey thing on the list is Horned Blenny's. However, I have heard that if you keep him fed and happy, there should be no problems.

 

Oops, can't do a .docx. Here's a pdf.

 

Eldwynn,

I think you should copy and paste the list. I myself do not open most links or pdfs.

You would probably get a better response..

You've definitely got way too many fish there. Though I will say that you've got some very good choices.

If you went with a couple bangai cardinals, a couple/few pajamas, the royal gramma, a couple firefish and one smaller tang, it would be about the limit. Also look at the genicanthus family of angels. Some of my favorites.

The definition of a smaller tang would not include either of the two you've got listed. Get a Kole or Flamefin Tomini. Most of the tangs will grow too big for a 100.

As to the corals, you may have a tough time keeping gorgonians and sps with Xenia. Xenia tends to like higher nutrient water and that's the opposite of the others. Not to mention that it can grow like a weed and swallow up other corals.
