So I recently lucked into a pretty great set-up with a 350-gallon tank. My wife and I used to have a 210 and two 125s set up, and after we moved decided to look for upgrades. We love having mixed reef tanks, every FOWLR I planned ended up with coral anyways, so I am trying to plan and do things right. For the equipment, we have much fancier things than we've ever worked with before so I am going to have my LFS help set up the equipment, but for stocking the tank we are trying to come up with ideas on species we might have overlooked in the past because this is the largest tank either of us has ever really thought about. Currently, we know we want to stock the following:
-Pair of Ocelaris Clowns
-Either fairy wrasse or six-line
-Snow flake eel (open to suggestions on others, we decided against garden eels because of the bed depth)
-Small school of Blue reef chromies
-Lyretail Anthias or Barlett's
-a few different Zebrasoma tang species,
-two barred rabbitfish
-Diamond Goby
-Mandarin (once we have a heart copepod colony established)
-Signal Blenny
Corals:
Acans, Blastos, Zoa garden, Mushrooms, Hammers, Torches, Plating corals
Inverts:
Mixed clean-up crew.
RBAs
Tridacna
If you can think of other species we should look into please let me know. I plan to document our tank journey.
