I have a 60g (49x15x17) with 17 gallon fuge and 12 gallons of water in my sump so just about 90 gallons total water volume. I have just about 150 lbs lr and an octopus nw 150 skimmer. What do you guys think about this stocklist in my reef?
1-Lawnmower Blenny
2-Ocellaris Clown Fish
1-Kole Tang
5-Green Chromis
1-Flame Angel

I like everything in the list but I have never had a Tang so I dont know if the Kole Tang needs more room or not.

You should be fine with the Kole tang just make sure that he doesn't get stressed out earliy on. I have a 65 with a very similar stock, but I'd skip the school of chromis and go with a basslet or cardinalfish. I'm just about maxed out with a Kole, Flame Angel, 2 clowns and a Royal Gramma. Good Luck!

How about a falco hawk instead of the chromis school?

why a kole tang? never had luck with them myself.
1-Lawnmower Blenny
2-Ocellaris Clown Fish
1- yellow tang ( much hardier and gives a big splash of yellow )
1 psuedochromis or gramma ( greatly reduces the bioload and offers bright color and interesting behavior)
1-Flame Angel ( my 3rd favorite fish, Mandarin Goby 1, Chevron Tang 2 )
i would also add an interesting shrimp, starfish, an anemone for the clowns if you have the lights and a small but unique CUC

I like all of the ideas but I'm not sure about the psuedochromis or gramma because I don't want to see and carpet surfers jumping out the back of my canopy. The kole tang is because I am picking him up free. The catch is that it might have ich because a powder blue tang has ich in his tank but I'm going to put it through hypo. If it doesn't make it I will definitely pick up a yellow tang because I love those fish.
I may forgo (sp?) the flame because I'm worried about it picking on my corals but for $30 I feel llike I can't pass it up.
P.S. Good choice on the mandarin, I love those guys too
