haha thanks. I didn't even notice that.
I would add the clowns before the royal gramma. Just to be safe.

Out of that list I would just add whatever tang second to last, and the last fish would be the mandarin.
I wouldn't add that until you really have established pods.
My royal gramma is very peaceful, unless someone try's to go to his cave, and even then he just stands his ground.

I have lr in my sump/fuge and i see a load of pods in there, i am going to order from MDL online (cheaper) and i have ordered stuff from them be4, my lr, and clean-up crew, lost nothing, i have the money to get the shrimps, and the clowns, but the weather is fairly cold and lows in the 20's, so ill probably wait a while for it.

That would be a good idea.
Yea defiantly the Mandarin last. Wait at east 6 months to add it. You will be really sad to see a beautiful fish starve if you add it too soon.

Ok, decided to get the clowns first, what would i feed them?
I can go to the lfs and get it if they don't have it cheap online (don't want to place a big order online for a while.)

Ok, hope its not expensive at the lfs, how much do you usually feed them?

I think it was $11.99 for a nice size bag that's going to last me quite a while.

That's what I have.
I feed a few pieces that I tear in half, cause my clown is so tiny. I feed until she starts ignoring the food. Which doesn't take long at all. If they try to eat the food and spit it back out it means it's too big.

Thanks for the info, ill see if the lfs is cheaper though, or ill place a big enough order to last a while. Also how long does the Mysis last? How long can it be in the freezer for?

So far mine has lasted me a while. I am still at like the very top of the bag. It doesn't say how long it can be in the freezer. Just make sure you put it back in there immediately after your done.
From what I have read this is what I see: You are stocking lightly, you still have a good amount of space to work with, with the list I see it looks good, If you are wondering what fish to add first this is what I would do...
Add them all at once! this is because they are ALL aggressive and if you give a month between each fish then you will have a large amount of fighting and scrapping, resulting in either returning of the fish or a mass change in the LR structure destroying any territories that the fish had.
Good luck

You know what, i went to my lfs and they had the exact Mysis shrimp, on premium aquatics it say 8oz for $12.99 i got a 16oz for $17 something, i think it was a better deal imo.

I have a question for you, i got the clown fish pair i was talking about, they have been doing what i think is the "clown fish waggle?" going up and down, so are they just trying to establish their territory? Also i read about fire shrimp and what i get from them is they hide all the time and come out at night? I know cleaner shrimp come out most of the time.
