32G Stocking Help

[aaronoh]

Hey, want to run this by you guys - I'd appreciate any input. Been up and running for ~2 months now.

Existing:

2 X Ocellaris (ended up with a large wild mated pair)

1 x Firefish

1 x Yellow Sulphur Goby

1 x Skunk Cleaning Shrimp

1 x Red Fire Shrimp

1 x Fighting Conch

3 x Turbo Snails

2 x Nassarius Snails

8 x Blue Legged Hermit Crabs



Planned:

1 x Striped Blenny

1 x 'Open Water Swimmer' - Trying to find something that wont be hidden away in the rockwork/sand all the time. Considering Pyjama/Banggai Cardinals or maybe a Flasher Wrasse....open to suggestions.

1 x RBTA

Just want to make sure these are all ok - and reef safe. Have a few frags already (GSP, Xeina, Zoa, Sinularia, Candy). I am using a canister filter but its packed out with all the right media (Nitrate (BiowNitratEX) & Phosphate (RowaPhos - may switch to PhosGuard soon) removal, Carbon, filter floss and coarse sponges) and will/has be(en) well maintained weekly.

Would this push me to/over fully stocked?


Current Params:

Salinity: 1.024

PH: 8

KH: 10.5

Amonia: 0

Nitrate: 0

Nitrite: 0

Phosphates: 0.1

I would wait on the anemone for things to stabilize a bit more. Remember, they can move and if so damage other coral. As for fish, what about a royal gramma, or starry blenny?

The RBTA is definitely more of a long term plan, I'll be sure to leave it a few more months. I was under the impression they'd only move until they found a spot and then essentially stay put. Is that incorrect?

I've wanted a Starry Blenny all along but I've been lead to believe they're quite aggressive. Have you got any experience with them?

The Royal Gramma is a good call, think it'd be out in the open much? OK aggression wise?


Thanks,
Aaron

Some find a place and stay put for years. Others will move around quite a bit.
