Just realized this will be different fish stocking!


I've never had to stock an sps tank before so I'm not sure what will be a good amount of fish.

75g, 50g plumbed in not sure for what purpose yet, and a 40-50g sump

I will only have fish in the 75g unless the 50 ends up holding a fish that turns aggressive.

so just throw out some thoughts on what you'd stock with to give me an idea for what I'm working with.

I have some ideas but just want to see if I'm in the ballpark

I'm looking to have great coral health, colour and growth so keep that in mind. Oh yeah BB tank as well.

Thank you

(maybe I just like fish stocking threads)

if you have a good enough skimmer. a smaller lionfish and zebra moray eel would not be run of the mill.

I think I'll go with some smaller fish but I like that you mentioned this to remind me that there is variety... you know more than one way to skin a cat

The thing is I plan on moving my current fish - royal gramma and 4 line wrasse over

I just wanted to get some thoughts before I mentioned... I'm sneaky

thanks guys!

Another thing that I'm thinking is what about just a group of flasher wrasse.
I'm thinking just one group of one species. But really in a 75g display would this be reasonable. I mean for a proper sized group 1 male and how many females? As far as I have seen they are fine being fed on a normal every 2nd to 3rd day schedule?

I'm really looking for a cool display that is slightly different.
Note if I do this I will probably keep my current wrasse in the 50g compartment but put the gramma with the flashers...

Okay so what can you tell me about these fish?
