We have gotten to the point in our tank where we have a core group of fish that we know we want, and a list of possible additions that we are not sure of. Here is what we currently have.
General - Mixed reef tank, 72G with 80+lbs of LR and 80 lbs of LS, plan to keep a varied mix of corals. Currently have a bunch of Xenia, two zoo colonies, a couple of small m.digita frags (one orange and two purple), and 2 small acro frags.
We have about 2 dozen small hermits, and 1.5 dozen astrea snails. We also have 1 porcelain crab, 1 large emerald crab, and a common cleaner shrimp.
Current Fish -
2 clownfish (not sure if they are false or true percs)
1 Yellow Tang
1 Bangai Cardnal
Must have fish -
1 Coral beauty Angel (Waiting until last for this guy)
Potential other inhabitants (thinking 2-3 of the below list depending on the fish size, and agressiveness towards other picks) -
neon goby (like that he is a cleaner fish)
Shrimp goby (I like the randall's and the wheeler's, these seem cool)
Lawnmower blenny (like the sand sifting aspect)
Brazilian Gramma
Blue Assessor (i just like the gramma and the assessor )
I would appreciate any recounts of experiences with the above fish. A couple of them I am going to need to see in person to decide on, but I would like to know if some are more active or fun than others.
Thanks!
Brian
