What do you think for of this stock list for a 40 gallon tank?

Hey,
I am going to be getting a 43 gallon tank soon and I would like to know what you think about the stock list. The filtration I am planning is very good.

either a Coral Beauty, Flame Angelfish or a Bicolor Angelfish.
2 Ocellaris clownfish
1 Fairy Basslet (Royal Gramma)
1 Purple Firefish
1 Six Line Wrasse
1 Lawnmower Blenny

Aswell as plenty of LR, an Bubble Tip anemone and plenty of coral!

I am not sure if this is overstocked or not?

Also there will be plenty of pods.

Thanks!

The Fairy Basslet (so cute!) seems to need a larger tank than 43 g and they like it well established first: http://www.thatpetplace.com/pet/prod.../7/product.web

But the rest of these fish seem like a good fit in terms of tank size (I didn't look at their temperaments, hardiness, etc. though, so that may be worth a look). Your tank is going to be BEAUTIFUL! I can't wait to see pictures once you have everything set up.

Wow it is so hard, get a flame angel. Bicolor and coral beuty are all so great. I can't decide between bicolor and flame.

For the anemone, wait at least 6 months before getting them. They need a matured tank. Feed them once a week. I use to feed mine krill, but I use oyster now. You will need metal halides for it to grow happily

Other than that, should be fine .

Post some pics when you're setting it up
