Hi all,
I?m putting together my first reef, a 65g system and am trying to come up with my stocking list. Please advise.
So far:
Must haves: 2 clowns, a wrasse ( would prefer halichores but worried about infection risk- someone please chime in here)
Maybes: school of chromis (how many is suggested for a 3? wide 65g?), dwarf angel, royal gramma
A couple other random questions: usually fish are quoted with a gallonage requirement, but tank length is not mentioned as it is in FW. Given my less common tank size, should I be looking for fish that have a 30 gallon min requirement instead of a 55? (being that a 55 is 4?)
When selecting fish that have different diet requirements (carnivore vs herbivore vs veg) How do you feed them all? Do you just throw a little bit of everything in at feeding time and let them find what they need?

I don't know about the halichores wrasse as they get pretty big.;) You should see the one in mshur's tank, what a beauty. I just lost mine for no apparent reason, and will be replacing him hopefully with 2 this time around. Perhaps 1 or 2 of the smaller fairy wrasse would do better in your tank.
What type of clowns are you going to get?
