Stocking ideas? Rs reefer 350...?

[geckoejon]

Hello,

I picked up a Red Sea reefer 350 (73g dt) for the bedroom. It came loaded with a pair of kessil 360's, mp 40, bm curve 7, and ext...

I'm looking for some stocking ideas for it....

I'm leaning towards non reef... might toss in some cheap coral that I don't care if they get eaten lol I already have a 220g mixed reef, so I wanted someone different...

I'm considering... maybe...??.

- small angel or 2
- butterfly or 2
- puffer or 2
- and ???

Any non reef safe fish you could think of that would get along?

Stocking ideas as far as cheap colorful coral and possibly nems?

Well firstly it depends what puffers and angel your talking about but bigger species won't work in that tank size very long.
Species such as the flame angel, coral beauty and other dwarf to mid sized angels would work.
Species such as the valentine puffer would work great.

But here's what I think would look sweeet!

Now it may be harder to achieve in the reefer tanks because if there height. But I'd say get a carpet anemone, along with mangroves, some various types of macro algae such, a few soft corals, maybe a big clam, some gorgonians and sponges.
Then for fish get a few of the dwarf lion fish species, along with a wartskin angler. You could even get a rhinopias if you feel like spending a couple hundred bucks... LOL.
This would look super sweet IMO...

Hawaiian fantail filefish or a dwarf lionfish.

I think that looks like an interesting list.

Add the dwarf angels simultaneously and you should be fine.
