Stocking ideas for TMC SIGNATURE 900 180 LITRE

[Bcfcforever55]

Hi,

I am new here so hopefully, all of your knowledge will give me a better idea of stocking options for my tank.

I currently have a TMC Signature 900 which is 180 litre. It's all fully cycled and I currently just have 6 hermits, 6 nitrite snails, Clownfish and Orange Spotted Goby.

Currently, the flow in the tank is x 15 per hour.

I do understand and will be soon getting another clownfish the other one it had, I put a new pump into the aquarium and as I want to get the bottom bit it swam into the inlet.

That's totally my fault all my parameters are fine, 0 ammonia, nitrate, nitrite, PH 7.6 Salinity 1.026.

Sump stocked with 6000 lph return pump, 4 powerheads around 1200 per hour, Coral Box D700 skimmer.

Currently, the options of what I like are the following.

Azure Damsel
Carpenters Flasher Wrasse
Coral Beauty Angel
Engineer Goby
Flame Angel
Firefish
Pink face Wrasse
Urchin
Cleaner Shrimp
Tanaka Possum Wrasse
Peppermint Shrimp
Yellow Tail Tamarin Wrasse
Longnose Butterly Fish
Four Stripe Damsel
Royal Gramma
Yellow Tang
Starry Blenny
Clownfish (100% getting this)
Yellow Goby

Coral wish list - Finger Leather Coral, Blue Ricordea, Green Open Brain Coral, Green Star Polyps, Leather Toadstool, Pearl Bubble Coral, Red Orange Digitata Montipora, Sebae Anemone.

Please feel free with your stocking ideas to as well as tell me out the list which would go together and quantities. I am more than welcome to suggestions, keeping the clownfish (Soon to be 2) and Spotted Goby and Inverts.

Thanks so much for reading this I will try to be responsive as I can.

Matt

Well hello @Bcfcforever55

apologies for being so late saying #Welcome to reef to reef. Glad you joined. You will find some great folks and information here. I promise.

so, onto your question. When choosing livestock try to take into consideration the tank and equipment. Tank mostly for size and equipment like lighting for coral.

I would forgo the tang and butterfly. Dwarf angels ok, but hit or miss on possible nipping at corals. I love damsels and size is good, but they can be aggressive, more so the 4 bar and they can grow a bit big. carpenter,blenny, firefish, ok. urchin can be kinda pushy and move smaller rock and coral around.

Your coral list depends more on the light set up.

if you get a chance stop by the meet and greet section to say hello so we can say hi officially
