stocking list for my 72 gallon
I have a 72 gallon bow front with 90lbs live rock.
I am currently cycling the tank and am trying to figure out what fish i want to keep. I know i am going to be keeping corral so all must be reef safe. For substrate i used a 40lb bag of reef sand and a 40lb bag of crushed coral on top. what i have figured out so far are: 1 - Purple Tang 1 - chevron tang 1 - 6 line wrasse 2 - Neon Gobies 1 - Midas blennie 2 - Fire shrimp Does this seem alright? Is their room for more fish? If so what should I add? (I would like a couple more small fish, but not sure) And last but not least in what order should I add these? |

My favorite fish for sure is a flame hawkfish he is soo woderful! You should also get a couple of false clowns or what ever clown you want. ( your clowns dont need to be in a pair btw)

Flame Hawkfish are pretty but the few I have had have been very aggressive towards other fish. I love my clowns and always have clowns in every tank.
Good choices on your fish! I would start with that and you can always add later (although it will be difficult to add any more tangs later on)

My flame hawk has always been very nice. Never hurt my baby clowns or anything.

My flame hawkfish beat up my clowns. It's amazing how the same species of fish can act so different.
