Good advice. Sounds like a great excuse for a second nano tank if the Sixline doesn't work out in the 105.

Thanks! I have posted there and have used Steve's advice to build my stock list. He advised against getting a Sixline, but I wanted a second opinion.

Thanks everyone for your opinions! I think I will get one and add him last (or at least well after the more docile species have had a chance to establish territory).

Also, I'm going to have a refugium, so having a fish dine on pods is perfectly fine with me.

My biggest concern is that he will pick on the Firefish. The rest I feel could fend for themselves.

Thanks...what are the other inhabitants of your current tank?

Oops -- this will be a 105G (48x24x21).

Hi all, Looking for opinions on the Sixline Wrasse (P. hexataenia). Consensus over at Reef Central is that they are pretty aggressive, but I really like them and they seem to have a lot of personality. Below is my proposed stock list (currently building a new tank setup), in order of introduction. If I opted not to get the Flasher Wrasse and added the Sixline last, do you think he would get along with the others? Diamond Watchman Goby (V. puellaris) Red Firefish (N. decora) Pair of Percula Clownfish (A. percula) Blue Chromis (C. cyaneus) Orchid Dottyback (P. fridmani) Filamented Flasher Wrasse (P. filamentosus) Kole's Tang (C. strigosus) Yellow Longnose Butterflyfish (F. flavissimus)

Great, thanks for the advice. You might be right on that one; will give it some more thought before making a final decision.

We've seen pinktails while snorkeling in Hawai'i, and I'm absolutely in love with them. I plan to add it last. Same goes with the butterflyfish, but I'm not 100% set on adding it. I really wanted a Raccoon Butterflyfish (again, from Hawai'i experience), but there's no way I'd be able to keep it with corals, sadly.

Thanks! Great advice about stock considerations. I'm considering only reef-safe fish for my stocking list: Kole's Tang Pinktail Triggerfish Percula Clownfish (pair) Bartlett's Anthias Royal Gramma Firefish (pair) Yellow Longnose Butterflyfish Filamented Flasher Wrasse I know the trigger is borderline reef-safe, but I just have to have one.

Hello all, I've been gathering information for the past 6 months on starting a reef tank and am about to start my journey soon. Thought I could use some local advice to supplement my knowledge, and stumbled across this site. My plan is to start a 105G FOWLR tank (with sump/refugium) in the next month or so and eventually move to coral. Look forward to learning from everyone here! Chris
