    setting up a new 96gallon corner, fish only, with live rock.

    i have a very large tomatoe clown,and a year from being fully matured emperor angel.

    the other fish i would like to add are:

    wartskin or giant frog fish

    harliquin tusk

    russell's lionfish

    clown trigger

    what do you think?

    too many fish, or can i add one more?

    suggestions as to other types of fish?

    already have a 210gallon reef, want something different.

    according to those "experts", i've spoken to, they should all be ok.

    need my fellow "reefers" to chime in.

    4 fish in a 96gal tank? I would think you could do more. I have three plus a cleaning crew in my 26.

    1" of fish per gallon. Add away. Just be mindful of adult sizes.

    Add one. Wait month or so and keep eye on water params. If stable, you can add another.


    Make allowance for fish growth and max size.

    Compatibility\eating habits also a big factor to consider.

    I would stick with smaller size exotics if a cool variety wanted.

    Good Luck!

    Great advice Scott.


    1" of fish per gallon. Add away. Just be mindful of adult sizes.

    Actually, its 1" of fish per 5gal. 1" per 1 gal is for FW if I remember correctly. Luna
