New tank stocking list

[sandman12]

Ok iam getting a 75-100 gallon tank soon and would like to know if what i have in mind is ok, I know some stuff isnt but i will ask anyways.
-black trigger
-flame angel
-mandrian goby
-I was thinking like 6 chromis to school
-Blue tang
Any other suggestions and which ones i cant have. I would add the black trigger last and as a baby.

IMO the stock list you have is way to much for the 75. I would consider the tang, trigger and angel in my 120 or 155. Tangs and triggers grow big and the tang especially need a lot of swimming room. Like said above, the mandarin should only be kept in a tank with a lot of LR, I mean a lot. It eats primarily pods which will be on established LR.

I know about the mandrian, I have seen a blue tang full grown in a 55 with a yellow tang and the guy said they were doing fine. so mabe i should look at a 125gal

Well he said they werent fighting or anything but u never know. I think my Blue tang has ick!!!! There is one white oval like bump and there r some oval spots (not bumps) Is this ick? Iam thinking of a new stocking list.

Look at my ocupation, then edit ur post. LOL Iam thinking of a new stocking list and then i will list it here. What would u turn a 75 gallong into ? A FOWLR or an aggressive tank? Iam thining FOWLR i could get more fish. Any pics of those 4 inch chroms'

either way you go there is a limit to what you can put in there. with a trigger you cant really have a clean up crew, something to think about. with FOWLR you can still have a aggr. tank, just would have LR.

Nice looking fish
Dvskin- Just becuase iam in high school doesnt mean i cannt afford a SW fish tank. I think u look at that wrong he said instead of buying mandrian buy some flowers for ur wife . I was impliying that iam in high school and dont have a wife LOL. And i deffinatly didnt buy a trigger. I dont even have the tank yet. I posted my stock list once, then sall what was wrong and told people iam thinking of a new one and will post it when i know it. I think u took in just about everything wrong.I hope i staightened it out for u.

my input is this. it's easy for people to say 75 gallon is too small for a yellow tang or hippo but fact is they do fine in those size of tanks, lots of people have had them many many years like that, i have a blue hippo in my 72 i dont care what some people that post they "have" to have or "need" to have a 6 ft tank, fact is unless you have a ocean in your living room it's still cramped quarters compared to what they are used too or born into. 75 gallons is a decent size tank for a yellow tang or a hippo.
