help me add some fish

[scott270]

i have a damsel and a maroon clown in my 75, the tank is 8 months old. what would be good, also this tank will have some corals at some point

my suggestion would be: get rid of the damsel if you can, unless if it's a chromis, then maybe you can add another 3-4 and you have a school... then, prolly get a tang (yellow, purple, or regal)... prolly a dwarf angel (flame, lemonpeel, or coral beauty)... lawnmower blenny, jawfish, purple firefish, get a pair for your maroon clown...
i think you'll be set.... just be patient on adding the fishes, wait atleast 3-4 weeks on additions... here is how i would add them..
1 --> 4-5 chromis
2 --> lawnmower blenny & maroon clown
3 --> jawfish
4 --> purple firefish
5 --> dwarf angel
6 --> tang
there is a lot more i can think of.. again, make sure to be patient on you additions... have fun and good luck...

flame angel
gold strip maroon clown
lawnmower blenny
royal gramma

Nothing wrong with those choices. Doing a reef in a 75 gallon can be pretty limiting. The rule of thumb is 3 watts per gallon for things like star polyps and leathers. Clams and Hard corals need 5 watts or more. Using regular fluorescent tubes the most you can get is 4 striplights and 160 watts. (40 watts per strip)
That is only a shade over 2 watts per. Basically you will have to open up your wallet for VHO or other high intensity lighting.
