Stock for 300g plywood reef?
I just built a 300g plywood reef tank and I'm figuring out what stock I can put with vibrant colors. So far I want a ritteri anemone with percula clownfish and a blue hippo tang but i'm not sure on the other stock which is ironic because i've been in this hobby for year. Just want some input and opinions. Its going to be a mixed reef but mostly soft coral and i like the look of regal angels so i guess that's a start. If you guys are interested I'll make a build thread of the tank. Thanks.

I would love to see pics of the build. I always wanted to start a plywood build but never trusted it. Is the liquid rubber white or black? or did you use fiber glass. More details Please

Oo you have a lot of choices. The Red Sea Regal angel is beautiful. I think a school of maybe 5 yellow tangs would look really cool and good for algae maintenance. Also a school of anthias would be sweet and colorful. A melanarus wrasse or a red coris wrasse (esp when fully grown) are eye catchers, but can pick on shrimp. Good luck on stocking!
I think you should make a thread. I've seen diy plywood tanks and thought they were pretty creative ways to make your own large tank at a fraction of the cost. |

I will definitely start a thread and I just want lots of vibrant colors like a chevron tang and regal angel. Maybe a small school of banggai cardinals? How about a harem of leopard wrasse?

Alright well I decided I'm just going to transfer everything from my 90 to the 300 so I thought back on the fish I want and came up with this:
Flame angel, Squamipinnis anthias, blue hippo tang, desjardini tang, yellow tang, marine betta, regal angel, Copperband butterfly, percula/ocellaris clown, mandarin dragonet, magnificent foxface, Longnose hawk, achilles tang, and a clown tang. I wasn't sure about these fish as well: Heniochus butterfly, leopard wrasse, mystery wrasse, green Chromis, and banggai cardinals |

I was under the impression that a DIY plywood tank done well didn't equate to great cost savings. Would like to enlightened. Pictures please?
