Hello,

I'm going to be setting up a 75G tank with live rock, live sand, and likely some corals (not 100% sure what type yet). As far as what to stock it with...I'm conflicted. Some of the fish I would like to have (although not necessarily in this tank) are: harlequin tusk, kole yellow eye tang, blue spotted puffer, and snowflake eel. Anybody have any good/bad stories on any of these (i.e. I would have loved to know that my pretty little blue damsel would get bigger and start fanning sand everywhere in my 29G). Any other fish suggestions to go along with any of these?

Also, how much can I stock? This part gets really confusing to a newb because one place will say a 75G is big enough for a tusk but another will say 125G min...and I won't even get into the "x" amount of inches of fish per "x" amount of gallons. I plan on having approx 100lbs live rock with a r-200 refugium/sump and a reef octopus classic 150SSS skimmer, so I can probably overstock a bit once established...but I'm not sure what I can safely get away with.


Thanks!!!

The Harlequin and puffer might have some effect on what corals you can keep. But those are all beautiful and would be alright in the same tank together. Would not consider to much more in numbers, might be good to have at least 1 wrasse so they keep the pest down.
