Bartlets for a 75?

[Scuba Dog]

I have a 75 all sps reef just courious how many should I add if I purchase this species...the curent residents are a yellow and purple tang, its ok no blood shed occures in the tank....a green manderin, orange spot goby, yellow clown goby...have a mated pair of maroon clowns that will be moved to the 57 gallon clam tank soon...might add a juvie regal to the mix perhaps or to the clam tank...

You mean a regal tang ,right?

I have a 120 with several different types of Anthias. I have always bought them in groups of 3 in hopes that 2 pair up.

Bartlets can be tricky I went through 2 groups of three before I got a pair to settle in and last longer then 6 months. I have had that pair for about 3 years now. I have also seen what I think is spawning behavior several times.

With that said the biggest lesson I have learned is to make sure you see them eat at your LFS before you bring them home. I would even suggest going back to your LFS several days in a row to see them eat.

I am sure in your 75 2 or 3 would be fine. Though I will say with your current bio load I hope you have a very good skimmer.

Hope this helps, good luck.

Sorry ment a Regal or imperior angel....for my all sps portion of the sytem...in the clam tank, ill just have the 2 maroon clowns...what few LPS I have left some sps and lots of clams...just always wanted a large angel species, will up up grading my tank in the next year or so a 4 foot 120 or 170 would be pretty easy..but really would like a 300 gallon system...just want to take a break from DIY stuff for a year or so, that clam tank was a chore lol

Bio load isnt a problem, space can be, all my systems are plumbed together a 75, 57, 37 gallon sump/fuge...a regular small sump..and a 24inch cpr hang on the back for a total water volume of 170 gallons...in all that water I have a total of seven fish...but the 75 is the largest tank in the system...
