Stocking ideas 150dd

[thirty6]

Need some ideas for a 150g setup,, I'll eventually post pics in tank thread being lazy at the moment.

I have a pair of regular non fancy ocellaris (spelling) clowns that will be sliding into the new setup soon. I will be using ai sols for lighting and will add some coral down the line. It seems im gravitating toward everything that eats shrimp or inverts at the moment.

I prefer the wrasse family to the tang family, and will add a sand box to make that happen as tank is bb. Open to all suggestions, Tia

Just wondering as people may read this. What does everyone use for cuc if they have fowlr tank with say triggers, Harli tusk, non reef safe wrasse?

I have a orange sided velvet fairy wrasse I think its called.

super cool fish doesn't bother anything is doing great in the 150DD. Its underside is this crazy blue it almost glows.

Sounds nice, can't say I've ever seen one either

I'm all over the place on what I'd like to keep at the moment
I really like the Harli tusk, ln hawk, a few wrasse, bunch of nicely colored anthias

How about a purple tang? Probably my favorite fish!

 

[thirty6]

They are nice looking fish, won't put any tangs in system for quite awhile. I really like the clown tang, but I am too small of a setup i believe.

At moment I have a pair of oc. Clowns and Harli tusk

Looking to add some more fish soon, what can i put with the tusk that will hold its own and not destroy my clowns?

 

[tomtoothdoc]

always wanted a long nose hawk but it's not crustacean nor small fish safe. since you already have a hali tusk so i assume no crustacean nor small fish in the tank.
small niger trigger is also cool but that thing grows rather quickly. if you get a tiny one like 1-2", you may have it for a couple of years before outgrowing the tank.

The ln hawk was always one of my favorites when i first started, i knew they werent crustacean or small fish friendly. Wish the person i bought the tusk from would have been more forthcoming. Its a sharp looking fish but sorta mean

Maybe i should take a liking to him with this in mind!

I like the ln hawkfish too but I hear it gets pretty aggressive.
