Hello everyone
i just cycled my new 75 gallon and I want to know what everyone thinks about my projected inhabitants.
here are the definates (i already have these in a 20 gallon and am waiting for a transfer) :
1 ocellis clown 2in
1 red lip blenny 2 1/2 in
1 neon goby 1in
2 barnacle blennys 3/4 inch each
anemone crab
condy anemone
long tentacle anemone
hermit crabs
cleaner shrimp
here are the ones i want:
5-7 chromis
1 a small wrasse (six line, fairy or flasher)
1 royal gramma
1 bangai cardinal
some sort of shrimp goby and a shrimp
1 pom pom crab
1 emerald crab
1 sexy shrimp
is this too much of a bio load? I have tons of filtration. if its not too much, does anyone have any suggestions? I might want a tang but i dont want him to be cramped. a couple of anthias would be nice too, but they might also be cramped. please give me some feedback. I want only reef safe fish/ inverts
I am also trying to get everything small so I can watch them grow.
thanks for your help.

Everything sounds alright to me. Wait a while before adding the anemones, they do better in a more established tank. I'm not quite sure on the tang, maybe wait a while. Is you tank long or high?

i suggest a fairy wrasse, those are nice... i also suggest a jawfish instead of the royal gramma.. i think they are much more exciting to watch.. :) as for the tang, you should wait atleast 2 months so you can develop some algae... also, 5 chromis should be fun to watch...

Jawfish,
Whats your setup like? I have a 180 gallon tank that I built into the wall in my basement office. It houses a couple hundred pounds of LR, a hundred pounds of LS, 6-cardinalfish, 9-Grenn Chromis, 1-yellow tang, 1 pacific blue tang, 1 maroon clownfish, 1-anthias, 3-pearlscale butterflies, 1 cleaner shrimp, 2 Coral banded shrimp, 150 hermit crabs and about 50 snails.
