DanS Future 90 gallon reef

Trigger I don't think is reef safe :/ but it sounds great! Maybe get another fish besides trigger. Idk what though.

Definitely risky to add a trigger. Lions are supposedly risky with some LPSs from what I've heard. I could be wrong. I've never kept predators.

Hmmm.. yeah I never have either so I have no clue lol just don't wanna set up the tank and get the eel(bc I really want one) and then not be able to add anything i like..

But a stock list of what I said is okay? Other than the trigger?? What else would u recommend??

 

[CorallineAlgae]

Predator "reefs" shouldn't be stocked as heavily as predator FOWLR tanks. If you'd add another fish I'd recommend a large clown like a maroon.

 

[Khij159753]

Yeah! Get the lion, eel, foxface, and a large aggressive clown! That'd be a pretty cool tank! And that should be low enough bioload to jeep water clean

 

[DanS180]

How big do maroon clowns get??

 

[Khij159753]

You'd have to check online but I think like 4-6 inch?

Interesting.... yeah I'll check out everything eventually.. still days away lol but thank you n everyone for your advice!!!

Could get a big tomato clown too, they're pretty aggressive too and would probably be able to hold their own.

Yeah I thought of a tomato clown too but if I had to choose between that and a maroon, I think id go with the maroon just bc of color and patterns

 

[Khij159753]

Yeah. They're pretty cool lookin

Yeah, they're prettier than tomato, and supposedly max at 6", vs 5" for tomato. Was just throwing another type of fish out there.

I appreciate all the advice I have thrown my way! and everything is taken into consideration of course

 

[DanS180]

Ok just doin a lil research online and I think I'm compiled a list of fish that I really like(that aren't consider nano) depending on which route I go, id fill in with some nano fish of some sort.

-snowflake eel
-dwarf lion
-foxface lo
-hippo tang
-kole yellow eye tang
-yellow longnose butterfly
-tear drop butterfly
-copperband butterfly
-bristletooth tomini tang
-maroon clownfish

All of these fish are considered "reef safe" to "with caution."

I know the hippo tang gets quite large but if I decided to get one, it'd be awhile before he got too large(then I could transfer).

So if ya can just give me a few scenarios of what you think would be a cool set up, that'd be awesome!

 

[Mrc8858]

All the butterflies are risky and tough to feed I would just stick to one if any

 

[DanS180]

Well yeah im not saying all of them haha just a list of ones I like so I figure mix n match ya know? Obviously one butterfly per tank and 1 tang per tank unless added at the same time

 

[Mrc8858]

How about the snowflake, a fu man chu lion, maroon clown, kole yellow eye tang, and the either the fox face or a butterfly.

Hmm not bad.. kole yellow would be a good replacement for a trigger that I originally wanted..

Gonna be tricky to make a reef with these guys!!! Lol

Yes but doable lol just gonna have to choose corals accordingly instead of the other way around haha

Yeah I guess so haha..

 

[DanS180]

Any other scenarios???
