Red Sea Reefer 425 Stocking Suggestions / Help

[Baker527]

Okay, we’ve been planning out our stocking for our Red Sea reefer 425 with this scape. The cycle is completed (photos taken prior to cycle) and we know to introduce slowly and when the cycle can tolerate the bio burden. We were thinking about the following fish introduced in the following order:



-Bicolor blenny

-Engineer goby x2 (rock scape goes to glass and is structurally sound with rods etc)

-Starry blenny (when enough algae)

-Long nose hawk (not planning on shrimp)

-Banggai cardinal x2 (already own, in another tank for now)

-Blue green Chromis x3 (already own, in another tank for now)

-Coral beauty

-Naoko & cleaner & other wrasse (mccoskers? Suggestions?) (plan to acclimate and introduce at same time to reduce aggression etc)

-One spot fox face


Someday maybe:

-Ruby red dragonet (when/if enough pods)

-Yellow tang

-Clown pair (already own in another tank)


Anything problematic? Any suggestions for changing certain fish or order of introduction? Too many fish?


Any input would be appreciated! Never had a tank this size so new to some of these fish/types. Thank you!!

Id swap the foxface and coral beauty depending on the size of the fox face. But everything else sounds epic

small fox faces are extremely hard. Its possible, but hard. If anything picks on them they tend to stress too much and die.
