Help with livestock list -


Im just layin around playin around with ideas and trying to figure out what i want in my 75 gallon reef tank - let me know what you think please, any additions you can think of, or if 2 of these fish wont do good with eachother (i wouldnt really know to much about compatability...im new). Heres what im planning to keep, along with about 90# live rock, and assorted corals,

2 Percula Clowns (already in tank)
1 Scooter Blenny (already in tank)
Cleanup crew of hermits, snails, and a coral banded shrimp (already in tank)

This is what i would like to add eventually:

1 Flame Angel
1 Blue Tang
1 Banggai Cardinal
1 Yellow Tang

I dont know what else....i really want some good color to stand out alot, as many colors as i can get in one tank! Is it ok to keep both tangs in one tank? Is my tank big enough? Any ideas on what else i can get? By the way sorry if i made a really stupid combination that should never be attemted in a reef tank..but i wouldnt know any better haha. Thanks,

Greg

actually i woudl say to no the the angel ( unless he is a dwarf)
and no to both tangs.. the tank is really too small

you might want to look at a feww fish that stay small and have color, try looking at some of the firefish. they are full of color and are pretty cool looking inthe body too

If you want a Tang, there are some that should be ok in a 75. Check the Chevron, Tomini, Purple & Yellow Eye.

The Purple Tangs actually get quite large. If anything they would just be a rental.
