Fish Stocking List

Hiya everyone,

Well now that the tank is finally cycling, I'm in the planning stages of stocking the tank. In terms of fish, here's what I generally like:

i) Royal Gramma
ii) Blenny (Type unknown)
iii) Mandarin (Type unknown and wouldn't add until much later)
iv) Blue Hippo Tang
v) Purple Tang
vi) Banggai Cardinal
vii) Pyjama Cardinal
viii) Shoal of Chromis (likely 3x)
ix) Pair of Percula Clowns

I have a 100 gal that will eventually accomodate coral. I'm assuming this would be way too many fish? Thoughts? Inputs on what to add first to last? I'm thinking the cardinals, clowns and gramma can go in early and slowly add the rest with the Mandarin and Purple tang last?

For inverts I'm thinking:

i) 2x Cleaner Shrimp
ii) X amount of Blue Leg Hermits
iii) X amount of cerith snails
iv) X amount of turbos
v) X amount of nassarius snails

Am I missing anything with the inverts? Input of number of each?

Any/all input would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Pac

 

You might want to make the clowns one of the last in, they are extremely territorial otherwise I think your stocking plan timing is good. That maybe a little heavy if you do not get an oversized skimmer for corals. Just work on getting your feeding and nitrates and phosphates under control to make your final decision on coral types. You might have to trade in the tangs periodically if they get too large for the tank.

Ask Reefcleaners.com for your stocking of janitors. They have great prices and service.
