Cube tank stocking ideas

[bcfd144]

Ok, I know we get this kinda question also, but need stocking ideas...

I have a 100 gallon cube tank. cycled and ready for fish...
This will be a coral/fish tank, so have to get fish that are reef safe.

But I have another reef tank with fish and dont want the same old stuff.
rt now my wife has in her tank (reef/fish) is
tomato clown
yellow tang
fire fish
6 line wrasse
green goby
mandarin

So Im looking for other ideas.
I like the look of these fish, but some are not good ides ive been told, but no exp for myself on these. But love the style and look of them...
a foxface
flame angel (but I know they can not be reef safe if not feed well and watched)
pygmy angel fish
japanese Swallowtail angelfish
sweetlip
naso tang (I know needs a larger tank, will later go in the 150 we will set up for a fish only tank if we decided to get it) But also have been told they are hard to care for


Anyway, if you guys have some ideas, id like to hear them.

thanks

ones I've personally liked are the Coral Beauty angel, Heni butterfly, Emperor and Cortez Angels, and Really any Fairy Wrasse... Not 100% sure on the angels compatability though... sorry, never kept reef... but I know the Fairy Wrasses and Heni are good to go with reef

Most dwarf angels will do just fine in a reef, just make they're well fed. I mean, you should make sure all of your fish are well fed anyway so it shouldn't be a problem. I, personally, am in love with Lieutenant Tangs, and will be getting one when whenever I upgrade my aquarium. Probably still couldn't live a full life in a 100 though. Clowns are almost always good additions to a reef. Just try something different than a tomato. Even something as simple as a perc. Gobies are fun, and I love my gold head sleeper goby. Get to be a decent size and always sifting the sand. Look at some reef safe wrasses, also. Some possess amazing color and would make a great addition.

Ultimately, though, it's all gonna be down to you. Just browsing sites like Live Aquaria can help give you a great idea of what you might want to keep.
