Stocking for 100 gallon reef

gtguy256 · 08/04/2017, 01:08 PM

I just upgraded to a 100 gallon tank after my 40b split a seam. The tank is 32"x24"x30". Right now I only have two clown fish and a red scooter blenny. I'm just wondering what cool fish might work in this tank now that it is a bit bigger?

A fairy wrasse would make a nice peaceful addition. Lots of cool ones too. Flame, rhomboid, rosy scale, and lineatus are some that come to mind.

Zebra Eel if you have some nice places for it to hide

You definitely have some room in there. I like the fairy wrasse suggestion. Most of the Halichoeres wrasses would be a good choice too. I would not put an eel in a reef, even a mild mannered one.

Others to consider, I'm:
Orchid dottyback
Firefish
Royal gramma or chalk bass
Longnosed hawkfish
Yellow tail damsel

Snowflake eel could also work. If you want to go with an eel, build a pvc structure and bury it in the sand bed to give it a home, this will reduce the possibility of it destroying your rockwork.

If you don't want an eel, wrasses are great. I'm a fan of the flasher wrasses myself
