Stock List

Here's a current stock list in my 92 Corner w/ 20 gallon sump. What's your opinion on my current capacity?

Stock:

Midas Blenny 3"
Niger Trigger 6"
Purple Tang 3.5"
Blue Jaw Trigger 3.5"
Maroon Clown 2.5"
Pink Tail Trigger 4"

The current ratio of capacity is 4.97 gallons per inch. Considering potential max growth sizes would put this around 2:1.

 

IMO, you are to your max, if not there. You have 3 large fish, the trigger, tang and maroon clown. Plus, it being a corner tank, it's not ideal for swimming room.

 

and i hope your not planning a reef tank cuz half those fish will rip corals to shreds

 

Not ideally, considering these Triggers. I specifically chose triggers with the highest success in reef aquariums. The large male Niger has been in the tank for 3 months and hasn't touched a coral as of yet. He's actually quite passive compared to the Maroon Clown (the most aggressive in the tank).

 

I definitely agree with the corner aquariums not being ideal for swimmers. I'm not considering any additions. Thanks for the input.

 

Triggers dont eat coral, but they will tear apart the tank after food which can damage corals.

I would keep an eye on the tang, watch for it to start munching on your coral.

 

Thanks for the heads up, bud. Will do.

 

IMO, you have too many fish for that shaped tank and size. The three Triggers, especially may pose a problem for you with aggressive behavior becomming more prevalent as they grow and mature.

 

I'd say a tad overstocked. Especially with some 'more' aggressive styled fish.
But it could work I suppose.
