Hello all, after lots of changes I think I have a stocklist that's ready to be presented to the board for scrutiny.
I have a 100 gal DT with a 29 gal Sump with Skimmer
I have about 150lbs of LR from an established tank and 2" of live sand.
CUC will consist of snails plus a few hitch hiker crabs that came with the LR.
Here's what I'd like to have.
Koran Angelfish
Flame Angelfish (can I mix a dwarf & large)
Royal Gamma Basslet
Scooter Blenny
Coperband Butterflyfish
School of 3 Blue/Green Chromis
Black & White Ocellaris
False Ocelleris (I have these two clowns in a smaller tank already)
One Spot Foxface
Powder Brown Tang
Yellow Tang (would 2 tangs be ok in a 100?)
Thanks in advance for any help offered.

the koran angelfish would outgrow the tank. whats the demensions of your tank? i would only put one yellow tang in also. chromis schools usually dont work and they just end up killing each other. aside from that, your list is fine. the powder brown might fit, depending on the demensions of the tank.

i would agree about the chromis....i think they are beautiful and would be nice to have a school but mine just kept killing each other and the other fish. i would eliminate them, other than that it sounds like it will be a beautiful tank.

My dimensions are 60x16x25.
I guess I used a bad choice of words. I was aking if the two tangs (powder brown & yellow would be ok).
I really appreciate your quick reply

Ok, I'll drop the chromis from the list. What about a few PJ Cardinals?
Thanks for your help.

I wouldn't do the trigger. I dont know why everyone doesnt like blue/green chromis. I have 6 blue green chromis and they have been doing good for a little over a year now no problems. That sounds good a powder brown should do good with the yellow but you might have some problems with that many big fish but besides that you should be great.

I guess its hit or miss with the chromis, I like them much more than the PJ cardinals but will probably stay away because of the comments posted. I'm new at this and I know every situation/tank is different but I don't want to take any chances when the odds don't seem to be in my favor.
Why wouldn't you do the trigger?
Thanks for you help.

I wouldn't do the trigger because some of them can be good for a while but than I have seen them tear up the tank. A blue throat tigger should be ok but if you are going to keep it I would say no with the chromis and the cardinals unless the are full grown.

Black & White Ocellaris
False Ocelleris
Scooter Blenny
Six Line Wrasse
One Spot Foxface
Blue Throat Trigger
Flame Angelfish
Royal Gamma Basslet
Coperband Butterflyfish
Powder Brown Tang

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

So I think I am also ready for the once over. This is what I am thinking about stocking in my 100 gal Show Fish only Tank. Keep in mind this is a show tank. It has the same footprint as a 55 gal, but is almost twice as tall.- tank, stand and canopy is just over 6 ft tall.
I am just in the planning stages, and would like to know what you folks think...
1 6 Line Wrasse
1 Royal Gramma Basslet
2 Clowns
3 Cardinals
1 Coral banded shrimp
1 yellow Tang
Granted, this will be the final inhabitants-- I know it will take some time to stock up to this.
In a 100 gal, is this too few? Too many? My research tells me they should live happily together. Any experience to the contrary?

Ladydi,
As you can see, I'M A NEWBIE at this myself. But from what I've read, your list looks good. But take a look at the "list of fish/inverts to avoid thread and you will find the following:
-Banggai Cardinalfish/Neon Gobies These are two species that can potentially do very poorly in the home aqurium, depending on the specimen you choose. Banggai cardinalfish often ship poorly, and do not ever begin eating at the LFS. The good thing is that this fish is easily bred in captivity and tank-bred cardinals do excellently. Neon gobies are the same way. Ocean-caught neon gobies do very poorly, but because they breed so often, tank-bred ones are much more common than wild-caught. Make sure that you get tank-bred neon gobies, and not wild-caught.
Of course you didn't specify what type of cardinals you were planning but I thought I'd throw this out there just in case.
Best of luck to you.

Thx Ced.... My LFS has cardinals and i did actually here about them not doing well-- so i talked to him about it. he will actually hold his cards for 8 weeks b4 selling, just to be sure. and he gets them from a local sorce- in state. i trust this guy, as he is 2nd generation in this shop and i have never had a bad fish from them. -- Thus how i came up with my list lol.
I just wanted to still get other opinions to see what others had to say.
