Hi All,
So with the new tank up and running (check out my build thread for more info) I will be transferring livestock + rock over from existing tank this coming weekend. I figure it's about time to start thinking about planning additional fish and thought I'd start seeking some opinions well in advance as I'm wanting to add several tangs eventually, along with some wrasse and others and want to know if I'm in for a disaster etc.
With making this thread I figure I can come back over time as I expand for updated feedback and so on.
The tanks is a Cade 1800 S2
1x Blue Tang
1x One Spot Foxface Rabbitfish
1x Bi-color Blenny
1x Flame Hawkfish
1x Cleaner Wrasse
1x Yellow Coris Wrasse
2x Clownfish
The wish list is currently;
At least 1x Yellow Tang
1 or 2 Purple Tangs
Achilles Tang
Powder Blue Tang
Blonde Lipstick Tang
Eventually I want to add a bunch of different types of fish instead of just Tangs, such a few different wrasse (but I'm yet to work out what I want there), maybe some anthias, possibly a sandsifting goby and maybe other gobies and a dragonet down the line. The focus on the moment is more on the tangs being the bigger ones.
I want to eventually have a very lively looking tank with plenty of fish and corals moving around and thriving.
My existing tank a waterbox 70.2 is likely to stay operational in the meantime as a bit of a quarantine tank so whilst I'm not looking to rush out and get fish tomorrow, if something comes along that works it might be a good opportunity for me to sort it sooner rather than later so I can pull down the tank eventually and the missus will be happier for it only having the single tank running.
Would appreciate some feedback if you have any info/tips or advice.
