    Below is what I had in mind for my stocking list. This will be for a 75g SPS reef tank. What are your thoughts on my list? Too many fish? Will there be aggression/territorial problems? What about the bio-load of tall these fish? *Note: Number (X) to the right indicates how many of each fish.*

    Yellow Eye Kole Tang (1)
    -7" ea.
    -Peaceful
    -Active Swimmer

    Carberryi Anthias (2)
    -3" ea.
    -Semi-Aggressive

    Blue/Green Chromis (3)
    -3" ea.
    -Semi-Aggressive

    Scarlet Pintripe Wrasse (1)
    -3" ea.
    -Peaceful

    Yewllow Stripe Clingfish (2)
    -2" ea.
    -Peaceful

    Swales Swissguard Basslet (1)
    -3" ea.
    -Semi-Aggressive

    A total of 30" of fish.

    Total water volume will be the 75g DT + a 29g fuge/skimmer section + my return is another 10 gallons.

    15g fuge(5" DSB) and an Eshopps In-Sump PSK 150 protein skimmer + PhosBan 150 reactor running ecoBAK. 70 lbs rock + 2" sandbed in DT.

    Eh...I thought about a pair of clowns. Everyone gets them though. I was going to get them, but there are just too many other cool fish, that aren't so commonly seen. :)

    Thanks. Well I bought the tank already. I would like to build the stand this coming weekend. When I can get the skimmer and return pump,
    I'll start scaping the new tank and we'll be in business. ;)

    Thanks again! It was $79, close guess. :p I will be drilling for 2 super nano overflows from Glass-Holes.

    Lighting will be 3X Orphek PR-25 PAR 38 bulbs (6w, 4b, 2uv diodes). Moonlights will be a Neptunes Lunar Simulator w/ 4 LEDs on an Aqua Controller Jr.
