Hi all!
Long time stalker here, finally decided to join up and post.
After tons of research I think I have my final stocking list for my new pride and joy aquarium. I'm just asking that you guys second check my list in case I missed anything, and also what order should I add the critters?
The display tank is 570 gallons with a 180 gallon sump and refugium. The plan at the moment is to be a community tank, but not to include any corals. However, if we end up changing the plan and going that way it would be mostly softies as my lights and tank depth won't work for much else.
My proposed stocking list:
CUC (gonna start small and add as needed)
10x Trochus snails
10x Nassarius snails
10x Cerith snails
20x Dwarf Cerith snails
10x Scarlet hermit crabs
1x Blue tuxedo urchin
2x Scarlet skunk cleaner shrimp
Fish
4x Carpenter flasher wrasse (1 male, 3 female)
10x Blue/green chromies
Orange stripe prawn goby
Royal gramma
Orchid dottyback
3x Pajama cardinals
Foxface
2x Black and white ocellaris clowns
Yellow tang
Blue tang
Sailfin tang
Blonde naso tang
Flame angel
2x Green mandarin (way down the road)
I tried not to pick anything that would compete with the mandarins for food. That eliminated alot of choices!
I look forward to any input you all may have. Thanks!

. You will eventually be able to add many more fish if you should choose to do so. Slow and easy is the way to go!
