Stocking my Red Sea Reefer 350.
Hello everyone. I am looking for some opinions and suggestions for my Reefer. The total volume is 91 gallons with a 73 gallon display. It is 4 feet long, 21 inches tall and 20 inches wide. I am trying to plan out my fish list ahead of time, however I am having some trouble deciding and would love some info from some more experienced reefers since I've never had a tank this big. Please keep in mind this tank is bare bottom.
I look forward to hearing any suggestions and discussing them with you all. |

It would be better if you told us what fish YOU are interested in possibly keeping, then we could tell you the good, bad and the ugly. A 4 foot tank can handle an awful lot of different types of fish; it really depends upon what you are interested in.
For example, in my 425 XL Red Sea Reef (also a 4 ft. tank, but slightly larger than yours), I have: - 1 Hepatus Tang - 1 Yellow Philippine Tang - 4 Orange Anthias (1 male, three females) - 2 Maroon Clowns - 1 Yellow Watchman Goby (with Alpheus pistol shrimp partner) - 1 Flameback Pygmy Angel - 1 Yellow-Tailed Blue Damsel - 1 Royal Gramma - 1 Matted Filefish - 2 Bangaii Cardinals This is quite a few fish for a tank this size (especially a reef), but I am comfortable with all of these fish and like the mix and activity. FWIW, Kevin

Hey Kevin.
I have looked at many different species I'm interested in, but I tend to run into some issue. Blue Tang: my tank isn't large enough. Yellow Tang: my tank isn't large enough. Anthias: need to be fed constantly when I normally only feed once every two days, Firefish: jump out of a tank without a lid like mine. Flame Angel: Nips at SPS like I want to keep. It seems for a lot of this fish I want there is a setback haha |
