Nu Nu and Gboy's 66 gallon Red Sea Max build

[Gboy66]

Very nice and open, I'm sure a tang would like it

Most people add tangs last, I think it's because of aggression.

Thabks adam, means alot

Yeah, i think thays what we will do too. Problem is, there is a 2-3" yellow eye kole tang at the lfs now!! That would be perfect!!

Okay, how does this stoking list look? It has been modified but definitly isnt done. Still too many fish, but dang it is hard to make cuts to this all-star lineup!!

2 occerellis clownfish (one B&W)
1 Orange stripe prawn goby
1 Fairy wrasse
1 chalk bass
1 midas blenny
1 One spot foxface
1 yellow eye kole tang

Gusta?

Looks good to me. Maybe give up the goby or chalk bass but other than that looks perfect.

Oh, we already have the chalk bass. But the goby could be down-sized maybe? Like a yasha since they're smaller?

 

[Jlsardina]

I'd go without the fox face since you are going reef right? They have the personality to nip at clams.

 

[Nu-Nu the eel]

Haha i dont think we want a clam. Those darn things cost a ton, lol.

Yes i have heard about their problems with clams, we wont be getting one. I know they do well with all other coral for the most part though

The only thing I would be worried about is the fox face and the tang. Those are two big fish in one borderline too small tank.

 

[Kio707]

Would have to agree... Maybe one or the other... I had a tang and fox face in a 90... Still ran into each other ..

 

[Gboy66]

Well...bummer. Both will be very small, and isnt the fox verrry shy? Really tough to kick either...

 

[Kio707]

Fox is very active. Can even hand feed it. It's just to small... Sorry man...

 

[Gboy66]

Then i think we will skip the tang and keep the fox if anything

 

[Kio707]

Good choice. Think you will really be happy with it!

 

[Gboy66]

Good choice. Think you will really be happy with it!

Yeah, the tang is awesome, really is. Thing is, i doubt we could keep it as long as the fox ya know? We could probably keep the fox longer than we could keep the tang...

Im still not sure if i'd like to keep the flame or not..i dunno...

 

[Kio707]

Flame?? Didn't see it on ur stock list...

 

[Gboy66]

Flame?? Didn't see it on ur stock list...

Yup, took it off if we were going to ad the tang...

 

[Kio707]

I'd get it, but wait till the tank is established... Not all that hardy.

Sounds good, not sure about this whole tang thing yet though. We will see

 

[Kio707]

You want a happy you or happy tank? It's urs, can't tell you not to buy it, just advise you.

Ah koi your making me guilty for just thinking about the tang! Lol!! Your really helpful, and i thank you for that.

So this is what it basically boils down to right?
Stock #1

2 occerellis clownfish
1 Orange stripe prawn goby
1 Fairy wrasse
1 chalk bass
1 midas blenny
1 yellow eye kole tang

Stock #2
2 occerellis clownfish
1 Orange stripe prawn goby
1 Fairy wrasse
1 chalk bass

[Nu-Nu the eel]

I woul be willing to ditch the wrasse and flame in order to have the kole and foxface. Is that reasonable??
