Stocking question
First of all the description of what is currently there:
The tank is 5x2x2 feet, which should be approx 150 US gallons. There is a 3 foor sump with a refugium stuffed with macroalgae. It is lit by two radions Circulation is provided by 2xVortech MP40 and 2xAPS 1580gph pumps Current stock is: a few strombus grazers a few turbo snails of different kinds 5 nassarius snails 2 tuxedo urchins 1 pair of pistol shrimps 1 pair of coral banded shrimps 6 cleaner shrimps 1 lawnmower blenny 1 pair of Randall's gobies 1 yellow tang 1 pair of percula clowns 1 pair of coral beauties 1m3f McCosker's flasher wrasse 4 firefish (strong suspicions of 2m2f) When one bubbletip anemone that I really like comes along that will be the last of my planned additions, then it will be corals. I am told that I could still fit some fish in there. I am happy with the stock I have now, the tank looks great, but, should I start feeling the itch, what kind of fish or invert do you think wiuld fit well with the tank and its current population? |

With a pair of Coral Beauty's good luck adding more fish. You didn't say how old the system is or how long you've had the various fish in the system but once a pair of dwarf angels pairs off and gets established they have the potential of getting very aggressive. Your Coral Beauty's may decide to start taking out what you already have.
