Stock suggestions for 5.5' shallow reef
I'm in the process of building/planning my shallow reef tank
Tank will be 66"L x 20"w x 18" tall. (90-100g ish) Contents from my current 30g will be moved in: 2 perc clowns 1 banggai Cardinal 1 azule damsel 1 blue line cleaner 1 fire shrimp Various other little critters I'm debating what to add for stocking to the larger tank. The tank will be trimless so in looking for fish who are not known to be jumpers Possibly a few green Chromis for a little school and possibly another banggai or two I was also debating a yellow tang, hippo and a dwarf angel.. Any suggestions?

I'm all like, "Oooo another SPS reef!" (sticks) But I think you got auto-corrected from "stock" didn't you? Want me to fix?

I love the long shallow look. I have a fusion 30l now and love the look of the tank but crave more space for coral and fish
Older more spacious shot of the current tank More recent overcrowded shot from 30 seconds ago New tank design

Bangaii won't get along long-term unless they are a pair. A third one will get beaten to death. I think the YT and Hippo are too common for my liking - everyone has those two. A YT isn't so bad though - at least they help keep the rocks clean. Hippos don't do much. For yellow in my tank I have a Yellow Coris. He's a good worker. I'm bored of Dwarf Angels too. I'm really into a Wrasse thing right now, but they are certainly bad jumpers. I like Firefish and Jawfish too, but they are also bad jumpers. I like jumpers, so I'm not a good help. |

+1.i had 3 of them in my tank and they got along as babies but a soon as they mature they will start pair up and the other one is chased down until they kill him,sometimes if you are not lucky and you end up with 2 males they will fight as they mature..

Hah sadly there is a lot of cool jumpers! But I'm fairly set on rimless.
So for banggais. If I get one of the opposite sex should I be safe for a pair? (Pretty sure mine is a female. 1 vent) As for the new fish I'm open for anything (current fish are obviously getting moved over) I was thinking 5 or so Chromis as it would be nice to have a school. I generally prefer more small fish opposites to one or two large ones.. But I'm completely open to options.
