    I am not necessarily new to the hobby. You would think that though. My tank is 75 gal with a 25 gal sump. It's been up and running for 2 years. I only have 3 fish. 2 Ocellaris clowns and 1 LMB. I have some coral: zoas, mushrooms, torch coral, frogspawn, brain coral, clove polyps, toadstool, some other LPS. I was going through some horrendous GHA and its finally on the mend. Once I have that taken care of, I was to start adding fish.

    My question...since I want to start adding some fish, I am just unsure if what I want is too much and in which order to add them.

    I want:

    flame angel
    whipfin fairy wrasse
    royal gramma
    blue reef chromis for some color

    thanks for the help

    In my opinion you could add all those fish if you wanted. The bio on that is pretty small for your system. I suppose I wouldn't put in 10 chromis, but a few would be fine.

    I wouldn't do the angel however... as you might be fine, but likely someday all of your coral will just be a snack.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Welcome to 3reef. I like the avatar.

    Seems like they would all be fine. Add the royal gramma first since he will most likely be shy and passive initially. Next wrasse or chromis and last the angel.

    Thanks, I am glad I should be ok with that many fish. The angel isnt my idea. My husband likes them a lot, is there anything else that I could add that would give me that color? I can't think of anything.

    Thanks, I wanted the royal gramma first anyway :)
