My intended stocking list for my 65 is :
2-Ocellaris Clowns
Dwarf Angel (Most likely Flame Angel)
Royal Gramma
McCosker's Flasher or Carpenter's Wrasse
I wanna set up a quarantine tank and was wondering if a 10g would be big enough for my stock list. Are there any fish on my list that would find the 10g unsuitable for 2 weeks? Im planning on attaining all but the pair of clowns around 3 weeks apart, so basically one fish in the qt (http://www.talkingreef.com/forums/member-tank-projects/5728-my-65-progress.html#) at a time.

Yes, a 10 gallon would be fine as you wont be adding all the fish at the same time...

Also it will be better if you don't add all of the fish at the same time so your tanks bio-load can come up to speed and handle the fish your going to be getting. I went really slow but only added one fish/small group of fish every couple of weeks. That way I could make sure even after quarantine that nothing funky was happening in my system.

Remember the mantra - slow and steady... :)
