Stocking list for shallow 100G tank

[Muffin87]

This is my aquarium: a Waterbox Frag 145.5

Length	Width	Height	Water Level	Volume
60"	26"	16" (shallow tank!)	15"	Total: 107 G / 406 liters To Water level: 98 G / 371 liters

Below is my fish wish list.
The ones in bold and underlined are the ones I'm gonna have a hard time giving up.
How many fish should I remove because they'd add way too much to the bioload? Which specific fish add a lot to the bioload in comparison to the other fish on the list?

Stunners	Utilitarian Fish	Nanofish
Regal Angelfish (captive bred)	Purple Tang	Firefish (Red or Helfrichi)
Harlequin Tusk	Tomini Tang	Splendid Mandarin (captive bred female)
Melanurus Wrasse	One-spot Foxface	Pyschedelic Mandarin (captive bred male)
Mystery wrasse	Lawnmower Blenny	Yasha White Ray Shrimp Goby
Leopard Wrasse (only if I find one that eats!)		Royal Gramma
Yellow Pyramid Butterflyfish		Starcki Damsel (if I can find one!)

Thanks a lot!

Is this going to be a frag tank or a mixed reef with a sand bed? And will your tank have a lid?

• Mixed reef,
• It's got a lid.
• no sandbed but THREE wrasse dens full of sand. Each one looks like this:

That's pretty cool - I've never seen a "wrasse den" like that before. Neat idea - do the wrasses naturally take to it?

In terms of the fish, if the two tangs are fairly small you should be ok for a while (your rockscaping could also greatly influence this). I might hold off on the harlequin tusk as I know from speaking with another owner that they really "dump" a lot.

I've found that most wrasses are quite easy to care for (including leopard wrasses), so if you have a good mix of brine, mysis (etc.) for food, places for them to explore and sleep - you should be ok.

The lid will definitely help - just note that some of the torpedo-shaped fish like the firefish do have a tendency to find any small gaps to launch themselves out of the tank.

Imo, I would take purple off the list. I would do the Tomini. Foxface is borderline. Some people count them as a tang. Regal Angel is pushing it in that tank.

where did you get the wrasse den that looks like bud light? where does the sand go? i need to order one

 

[ilikefish69]

also my leopard wrasse is fattest in my tank, such a fatty, also first to go to bed, think it wears itself out eating so much

 

[Muffin87]

where did you get the wrasse den that looks like bud light?

It's by alternative reef, not sure if they're still producing them.
I personally got them from marine-aquatics-eu. But they were much more common the in US rather than in Europe. (They were so rare in Europe, that when I saw they had 3 I got ALL of them)

The sand is on the bottom. It's sort of like a vase, just google for images of "wrasse den" "alternative reef"
