Help with stocking

[Closetcanibal]

What would be some good fish for a 75 gallon full reef? Just starting so I don't have anything in there except CUC. Looking at a kole tang then of course clowns, possibly frostbite if reef compatible. I have more then enough filtration and skimming to handle a large bio load. What would be good additions and what order should they be introduced?

Fish choices are very personal so it's hard to advise on that, but check liveaquaria and search by your tank size. In general you should add your peaceful fish first and most aggressive last. Best advice I can give in regards to stocking is do your research BEFORE you buy, and go slow, be sure to give the fish time to adapt to your system and your bio filter time to catch up as well.

Oh yeah more or less looking for recommendations since I have only done FOWLR tanks in the past. Had lions and such. I couldn't find mug tangable info on frostbite clowns.

Here is general thought will probably switch out some before list is final. Have lots of fish we like that we need to research more to make sure will fit with our eventual reef as well as the other tank mates.

Don't do the coral beauty. They are reef compatible with 'caution'...I regret putting mine in as it has turned into a bully of fish and nipping at coral after years of no issue. Not worth it.

So then that one is out. I guess I should have posted pictures along with first post lol. I had heard mixed results with that one

How about a hawkfish? Love those guys lol

They are are reef safe "with caution" and fairly aggressive though right?

No, reef safe refers to fish that won't eat your corals or inverts.

Yeah. I know that. If you feed them well. They "shouldn't" pick at corals and such, shouldn't being key word. I was more referring to their aggression towards other tank mates
