    Background, I have a http://www.3reef.com/forums/show-off-your-fish-tanks/125-gallon-uniquarium-reef-build-68351.html that has just cycled and beginning to stock up on fish and CUCs...

    Here's my projected livestock of fish (in order of what i think i will purchase)...please tell me what you think. I'm trying to go for an Indo-Pacific / Fiji theme to coincide with the Fiji rock in smaller size of roughly 4" (so i can hopefully stock more). Color and reef compatibility is what I'm primarily after:

    - Chromis x7 (Greenish - Blue - White 3")
    - Perc Clowns x2 (Orange - Black - White 4")
    - Coral Beauty or Flame Angel or Lemonpeel x1 (Blue - Orange - Yellow 4") - Maybe
    - Firefish or Zebra Barred Dartfish (Yellow - Red - White 3") - Maybe
    - Yellowtail Damselfish x1 (Blue - Yellow 3")
    - Six Line Wrasse x1 (Blue - Pink - Green 3")
    - Green Mandarin Dragonette (Green - Orange - Blue 4")

    I would say leave out the damsel, and choose between a 6 line and a mandarin as they are going to be competing for pods.

    If your going to be keeping corals id say ditch the angels, they tend to more often then not eat corals

    Yea I would ditch the angels and the damsel myself, but this is YOUR tank and the only person that has to stare off into for entertainment..

    The Damsel is just going to end up giving you territory problems and the Angels sometimes pick/eat corals.
    GOOD LUCK
