29G Upgrade to 75G Stocking Questions

[jmarsh3253]

Hi Everyone - I'm in the process of upgrading from a 29G reef tank to a 75G reef tank, with a 29G sump/refugium. My current stocking that I will be moving to the 75 is:
40# live rock
2 Cleaner Shrimp
5 Astrea Snails, 3 Trochus Snails,4 Nassarius Snails
10 Hermit Crabs
Frogspawn Coral, Torch Coral, Xenia, Toadstool Leather, Spaghetti Leather
(2) Ocellaris Clowns, (1) Yellow Watchman Goby

Over time I would like to add the following:
(1) Foxface, (1) Flame Angel, (1) Royal Gramma, (1) Purple Firefish Goby, (1-2) of the following: Bicolor Blenny, Midas Blenny, Lawnmower Blenny, or Yellow Jawfish, (3) Pajama Cardinals.

Questions - Would this be overstocked? Any coral or compatibility issues? Any opinions on these fish specifically? With the clowns and Yellow Watchman already in the tank, what order would you add the others? Thanks for all your help!

Would this be overstocked? as far i see, no. when i said its overstocked-meaning that fish that dont have enough spaces for them nor your skimmer/lr cant handle it.

Any opinions on these fish specifically?
make sure you QT all your fish esp flame and foxface(better eat or else your doomed lol)

what order would you add the others?
i would add from least to most aggressive.
1-one of the blenny
2-pajama cardinals
3-foxface/flame

I think that your stocking looks ok but the purple firefish might be to passive for your tank.

Also, I have had trouble with drawf angel fish eating on my corals. Actually it was happening so often that I ended up taking the thing out...just be careful with them because some of them aquire a taste for corals.

Good luck with everything!:grinyes:

yes purple firefish can be aggresive at first.

Batman, you're saying the Firefish might be too passive, NYC you're saying aggressive...now I am confused! Any other thoughts?

[nycsicktank]

oh sorry for the confusion.
firefish can be passive and aggressive at the same time, no worries :)

i have a purple fire fish they are very passive..but he stands his ground if he has too

Purple firefish are usually a passive fish unless another one is added..they only usually show agression to another like SP. of fish...
