good fish for a 72 bow front

[Robbiekrause33]

hey all my 72 bow front is getting ready to be stocked up i'm super excited!!

i know i'm going to have a ton of rock in it

so i just wanted to know what you guys recommend fish wise!??! i was things clowns and a blue tang of course but i'm not sure what else i should get maybe a yellow tang let me know the best fish out there

also interested in corals i've going to have a corallife pro lighting for now so what would be good corals for the tank

Blue tang (Hippo) will outgrow a 72 very fast! Yellow might show aggression depending on how you stock. I know many people have gotten away with yellows in 75g tanks. A nice wrasse (so many to choose from) and of course blennies, goby's or mandarins depending on what you want.

Re: good fish for a 72 bow front

Unless you plan to swap fish out, I would select reef safe fish that are on the smaller side.

Clowns
Wrasses
Gobyies
Blennies.

If you are going to pack the tank full of rock, make sure you ha e lots of good flow, clean up crew and minimize dead spots were detritus will settle and be out of reach.

oh ok thank you very much for you input and i have two power heads and i was thinking of getting two more and putting 2 in the back 2 on the sides and put them on times that go off every 4 or 5 hours to keep the water direction moving
