75 Gal. FOWLR

ckrausnc · 11/30/2016, 11:46 PM

I am currently building a 75 gallon FOWLR tank. I currently have a small 20 gallon FOWLR with two clowns, and a valentini puffer. I got the tank, stand, and canopy a few months ago and have been saving for the equipment to actually get it going. This past black friday I got everything online for a small discount. Here is a list of what I have so far. Looking for input on what I am lacking.

Sump

Rss12dx medium overflow box - up to 900 gph
Skimz Sumpro Sump UP18 - 19 gallon
Reef octopus classic 150int - rated for 120 gallons
Sicce Syncra silent 3.0 return pump - 714 gph

In tank

Sicce Xsteam wave pump (925 gph) powerhead
Planing to get another powerhead
x2 150w Eheim Jager Aquarium Heaters

Sand/Rock

30-40lbs of caribsea - havent purchased yet
80lbs of BRS reef saver rock

Fish list

x2 Clowns
x1 Valentini puffer
x5 Blue/green chromis
x1 firefish
x1 yellow tang (recommended 100g what is yalls thoughts on it in my tank?)
x1 butterfly fish of some sort

Hydor Koralia Nano Powerhead 425gph is what I will most likely get to accompany the other powerhead I already got.
How do I edit my main post?

I would recommend against an adult yellow tang. Too large IMO. You may get away with a juvenile for a while.

Some of the smaller butterfly's will work.

I have a 75gal as well and I just added a Kole Tang on Black Friday. They are great additions but Charley is right get a juvenile one if your set on a Tang (I was) but you have to have to exit strategy as 75gal is kind of pushing it.

Two of the three fish in my 20 gallon. These will be going in my 75 when all is done.
