New tank?

Mikeman · 06-15-2001, 08:28 PM

Hi guys, as you know I'm getting a new tank, and right now I'm leaning on going for the a fowlr. Would this be a reasonable amount of fish for a 125g tank?

yellow tang
emperor or queen angel
humu trigger
snowflake or chainlink eel
red volitan lionfish
1 large damsels of some sort(I think I'm one of the few ppl that like them)

Could I have another tang? Also what can I keep for a clean up crew? Could I keep large hermits? What about snails? Star fish?

thanks

even though the trigger you have chosen is on the mellow side,i have not heard alot of good things coming from keeping a lion and trigger in the same tank for extended periods.since i like triggers and the fish load is pushing it (at least if youre talking adult fish)i would probably x the lion out if it was my tank(maybe the damnsel too)

I would not put in the trigger and keep the lion. Lionfish are my favorites but I decided on a reef instead

Also I think your tank is to small for a full grown imperator angel or a queen. THe damsel I'm pretty sure would be a good meal for the lion.(unless your talking about like garibaldis) So I think you would have a great tank with the yellow tang, eel, lion, and maybe another tang. This is just the kind of setup I planned on having but I got the reef bug

How about this:

lionfish
yellow tang
snowflake eel
magestic angel
and maybe like a long fin butterfly, a henochius or another tang of some kind?

Sounds good to me. But I have kept a tang and a flame in a 29 gallon before (no Problems either).
