72 bowfront stocking

[Fish4ever]

This is my stocking idea for my 72 gallon reef. If anyone has any ideas let me know

Flame angel
Yellow tang
Blue goby
Longnose butterfly
Fox face lo / one spot
2 black clowns
Diamond goby
Mandarin pair
Pygmy angel
Bicolor goatfish

A pair of mandarins will need a lot of live rock to support pods id wait until the tank is up and running at 1 year The yellow tang will out grow a 72 gal very fast better to find another yellow fish maybe a lemon peel.

Ya I wasn't getting mandarins for a while a year or two and if the tang outgrows it my parents have a 120g I can put him there

 

[Fish4ever]

And I'll have a 20 gallon refugium plus my in sump refugium so ill have lots of pods after a while when I get money to buy them

 

[Grizz]

Sounds like a plan

 

[Fish4ever]

I was just at the lfs and they had a spotted and a green I was like why do to taunt me!!! But I got an extreme misbar ocellaris for 16$

Sweet! Those impulse buys are the worst. Iv'e been waiting a year for the "right" clam and every time my wife and i go to the LFS she says look at this one it's on sale lol

Shouldn't have 2 dwarf angels in one tank; they'll likely fight. And as a side note: the angels and butterfly may eat your reef.

Ya I'm not having a lot of coral and I already have the Pygmy angel (which is an inch or so) and doesn't touch any corals but I've herd the butterflies are 50/50 and even if I put the 2 Angels in at the same time will they still fight as much

 

[Fish4ever]

Maybe instead of one of the angels a powder brown tang?

 

[Grizz]

You really need a larger tank with your taste in fish the PBT will need a 125 gal in order to be happy

 

[Fish4ever]

Ya I know but it's going in my room so it was either a 72 or a 90 and all the 90s on Craigslist were sold

 

[Fish4ever]

Ya but I don't got room no more than 50" but ill prob just have a small yellow tang
