Stocking Suggestions
I recently had a wipe out and lost all my fish - the corals are OK though.
So, I've now got a 60*24*20 reef tank plus large sump (with DSB) and no fish. What would you stock with? Mark

What do you prefer? Larger fish like Tangs, or lots of tiny fish perhaps?

I've tried small shoals (chromis, anthias) and always ended up with one fish
so I guess that way would be best avoided. I'm not keen on simply having one or two very large fish in a reef - previously I had two tangs, a flame angel, a foxface and some smaller fish, but I'd be tempted to reduce the "big fish" element from four to one or two.

I like variety, and if you aren't interesting in schooling fish, you can
still have quite a bit of diversity if you only have one or two large fish. Zero large fish would be ideal if you want to see the little guys more.
