I came up with my stocking plan/ 72 bow front

Fish:
1 Blue Tang
2 Clownfish
5 Firefish




The blue tang is a fast grower we are talking about 3-5 inches a year, so with a growth rate like this your bio-load will go quick. They are messy which can easily mess with your Para. plus they are considered Ich magnets.

What about dropping the blue tang & looking into a Mystery Wrasse (expensive), it maxes out at 5 inches and does not need the swimming space like the Tang.
Here is one http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_Di....cfm?pCatId=355

If you still like the blue tang than read here: http://www.wetwebmedia.com/paracant.htm at least know what your getting into when you choose this fish....

I have a lot of thoughts on this. I dont have time now to reply but the seaclone 100 would not be the best choice. I would suggest a CPR hang on refugium also. Check into a turbo floater skimmer which would be the best for you. If your going to go salt, go all out. Save and buy otherwise your buying and then throwing money away fixing things.

I will mention more later to help.

One last thing, the tang would be fine as far as bio load but not free swimming space. It could stress itself out and die.
