stocking

I have a 50 gallon full reef tank with a LOT of coral I’ve had set up for a few years, currently I have two fish, a green mandarin goby and a zebra barred dartfish as well as a long spine urchin. I am ready to add more fish but do not want to overstock. Here is what I am looking into adding: 1X...

I currently have a spingers' damselfish and an occy in my 20L but am considering adding another fish to the display (I have allot of live rock and a fair few large cave-structures), I'd really like something which might occupy the open-water or the top of the column but I'm not really sure what...

Hi all! I am upgrading soon to an 80 gallon reef (pending light purchase) from a 10g nano. Current stocking includes 2 occy clowns and 1 bicolour blenny. The concept for my upgraded tank will be a mixed reef and eventually dipping my toe into SPS corals. I want a tank with lots of small/medium...

Hi everyone, Some of you may have seen on the disease thread but I recently had to chase all my fish out of my 90g and treat for ick. I believe it hitchhiked in on an anemone, which stinks because I would’ve had no way to quarantine that. But, there is a silver lining. I now have an...

Hi, I recently moved my aggressive clownfish so that I can stock my tank with more peaceful critters while she’s away. It’s a 20 gallon tall with LOTS of rock and flow, algae, sand, anemones, and pods. Current critters: soon to be pair of ocellaris, small mandarin dragonette, a tiger conch...

Hey this is my first post here, i have a 210 gallon fish only tank with an emperor angel, a regal angel, a Naso tang, banner fish, a damsel i got from a friend, and an anthias. I am thinking of getting one more tang, but im not sure how much fish would be overstocking the tank. I also want some...

I'm at the end of cycling my tank and looking to pick up my CUC and possibly first fish soon and would love some input on my stocking list. My tank is a 24g AIO Current USA Cardiff and I plan on mostly LPS and softies with maybe one or two SPS at the top of the tank. So far I have this as my...

Hi Everyone! I am working on stocking my IM 25 lagoon and would love your input! Tank details below: Goals: LPS/SPS mixed reef tank. High bio load. Current Livestock: 2 clowns, 10 blue leg hermits, emerald crab, 3 snails, sand sifting sea star (not sure of the name). No corals right now...

Howdy all! 2 weeks ago I rebooted my 65 gallon mixed reef and I'm starting to restock it. Currently the only livestock in the tank is a serpent star and yellow cucumber, as well as a few softies/zoas that have been with me for years. I'm looking for some ideas for restocking the tank- not sure...

Hi , Happy Sunday and happy reefing! So I had to move about a month ago and of course took my tank with me. I decided to clean out everything( sand and rock) now bare bottom and empty and start fresh.(of course I kept media and levels have been stable and good for the past 6 weeks ). All I have...

Hello! I have a 90 gallon DT and I would love to get some wrasse. I will be adding coral in the future so I would prefer if they are coral safe, but I really wanted to get Melanurus wrasse. However, I promised the GF she could pick a wrasse for the tank. Are Melanurus wrasse compatible with...

I currently have a small yellow Clown Goby in my 2.5 gallon tank with a hotb Azoo 60 filled with Matrix and a square of Pura Pad. Do you guys think this tank has room for another fish? Possibly a Chromis or Damsel? Or is it maxed out? Thanks!

I got a pack of green seaweed added into an order as a free gift, but I currently don't have any fish remotely interested in it! Are there any fish that could fit into a 24 gal cube and would get along with an ocellaris clown, sixline wrasse, and tailspot blenny that also eat seaweed? I know a...

Hello guys I'm new to the hobby and still currently choosing my stocking on a 90 gallon tank I have. Currently I have 2 blue/green chromis. I am going to be adding two Ocellaris clownfish this friday and would like to add a reef safe wrasse, a Foxface Rabbit fish and then a Tang best friend for...

Hi! I've had my 24 gal JBJ Nanocube up since late August/early September and I'm really enjoying this hobby. Right now I have a sixline wrasse, a black snowflake clown, and a tailspot blenny, as well as a good size cuc made up of two emerald crabs, a bunch of hermits, and a wide variety of...

All, Which fish suitable for smaller tanks (45 gallon) are the most fun to watch? Setting up a 45 gallon tank (Max E 170) this week that I will be stocking with fish in March (going to cycle this thing the right way). I have always been more interested in keeping fish that are interesting to...

Getting ready to dive into the saltwater aquarium hobby and have been researching fish for a 45g tank with the Red Sea Max e-170 (will add the 10g sump also). Would love to hear people’s thoughts and views on compatibility for what I’m currently thinking about. Any watchouts Here? I’m a...

hey everybody my first time going outside of using the forums to hunt down advice and information. This time I'll be shareing my nano tank setup and I'll keep it updated as things happen! I have a 100gallon reef system for about a year now with some success. As I am gaining knowledge and...

Hey guys I am looking for suggestions for a 20 gallon centerpiece for my FOWLR tank. I currently have a fire fish in it. Am looking for a colorful fish that is active and will instantly capture the attention of people looking at the tank.

Looking for suggestion for an alpha fish that is always active and swims around alot, basically the center of attention of the tank.

Hi everyone, I'm looking at a potential stocking list for my 75G reef tank. It's currently in a fallow period following an ich problem.... So it has LPS, SPS, and softies in the tank as well as a cleaner shrimp and starfish. I have my surviving pajama cardinal in quarantine with CP for 30 days...

i have a Nuvo 10 gallon tank, I currently have a yellow clown goby, he’s very small and doesn’t do much. What fish would be a interesting addition to the tank? I already have a clown in another tank so if there’s another option other than one of those id love to hear it!

Hi all, I am setting up a mixed reef in my Nuvo 40 office tank and I am trying to figure out some good coral stocking options. I am struggling to figure out my best options for the lower portions of the liverock closer to the sandbed. The photos I attached will help to show why I am asking about...

Hi all, I recently moved back to my home town, and my dad and I decided to get into reefing. We finished going through the 52 weeks of reefing series, just got our tank, and our dry rock is in transit. Even though adding fish is really far off, I've started working on a rough draft of my stock...
