can this be done?

[joander123]

well heres what im pondering currently lol

Radiatta lion
Niger Trigger
Yellow Tang
(2) smaller "reef safe" wrasses (about 6 inches or so)
Yellow stripe maroon clownfish
(5) smaller damsels (will go in first and sort of cycle the tank)

^^ also looking at sailfin mollies, anyone have any experience with them... maybe some of them would be cool in there as well, or maybe instead of the damsels

Also looking into hawkfish or squirrelfish instead of wrasses, i just want a few medium sized colorful fish in there.....

you should get the picasso trigger instead They look sooooo cool nigers are pretty sweet as well but the picasso is my fav.

stocking looks solid, I though you where going to add an eel?

 

[joander123]

i would like to add an eel, but afraid to overstock?

What do you think?

Yellow stripe maroon clownfish
(5) smaller damsels (will go in first and sort of cycle the tank)

Do
Niger trigger (would consider a pink tail, or picasso)
yellow tang (or a purple)
maroon clown
wrasse ( i would get Green Coris Wrasse, a six line,Blue Sided Fairy Wrasse or a Harlequin Tusk favoring more the sixline and halequin)

I would add
Eel (snowflake,dragoon, or green wolf)
Puffer fish (puffer,dogface,or hawaiin)
hawkfish (flame, arc eye, or if you have the $$$ Geometric Pygmy Hawk)

Ditch the damsels (you can overload on smaller fish)

what about the lion lol?

 

[SHK_ATK]

you could toss in a lion as well, if you do I would loose the wrasses and toss in an angel instead.

 

[joander123]

what sort of angel are we talking, a dwarf i assume?

maybe add the lion ditch the puffer?

if i did that it would look like
-radiata lion
-niger trigger
-yellow tang
-maroon clown
-flame hawkfish
-eel

 

[joander123]

or maybe

lion
trigger
puffer
eel
clown
tang

^^ and call it a day?... or is that to heavy do you think?

i was thinking maybe remove the hawks/wrasses and add in a porcupine puffer?

 

[joander123]

what about
radiata lion
niger trigger
snowflake moray eel
maroon clown
yellow tang
Flame hawk

i think that would be pretty cool, i think if i put the puffer in my thoughts about possibly Soft/LPS corals go down the drain plus the porcupine i just realized gets HUGE..... thoughts?

I'd ditch the damsels unless you plan on moving them to another tank. It's just going to be such a pain in the butt to catch them once you don't want them in there.... plus a fishless cycle is much kinder to fishies! :thumbsup:
