Another New reef tank stocking list question

[Aquacraze]

So I have put together a list of fish I would like to stock in my new tank. As far as I've read from liveaquaria most of them are peaceful except for a couple. I am wondering if these will all get along nicely. I may not be putting all of these fish in the tank either these are just the ones I am really interested in. Most of the fish I've selected are more of lower level fish I believe so I'd like to get more that use the upper water Column area like anthias or angels do. Any other suggests are welcome too
Thanks,

2 clown (100%)

Flameback Angelfish or flame angel can't decide with one yet. (100%)

Midas Blenny (100%)

Royal gramma (100%)

Black Cap Basslet

Diamond watchman goby (100%)

Yellow head jawfish (100%)

Firefish or a Ignitus Anthias

What size tank?

From what I've read about the jawfish, you're going to need a deep sand base, wanted you to be aware.

I have a 55 gallon tank I do have a nice deep sand bed for the Jawfish and diamond goby

My clowns were anything but peaceful. Goes for the gramma as well. Might wanna put the clowns last depending on their size relative to the others. (bigger)

I read last night that the black cap basslet and royal gramma may not get along so the basslet looks like it may not be a good option. I've read about to many fish missed some of those details. Haha

Yeah, wish I could comment on the basslet. Never had one. All fish can jump but my gramma jumped into the overflow more times than I could count.

I am planning in outing a screen top on the tank.

Just a thought because I recently did this and I find the flow better. Try moving your HOB to the right side of your tank so the return runs the length of it. I was getting a good amount of micro bubbles because it would hit the front wall. Once I moved it to the right so the intake tube was still close to the back wall I have a significantly less bubbles. Like I said it's just a suggestion though.

Yeah I've thought about moving it to the right. I have 2 mp40 on the tank so I get good flow and water exchange but because the rock on the left is so tall I'm afraid I might not be able to put any corals on the top cause of the water output from the HOB filter. My couch is just to the right of the tank so that's why I have it on the left but it may need to be moved. Wish I could have it in the middle but I have a center brace that's in the way.

Yeah I tried it on a whim to see how it would flow and look. Visually I don't really like it but I have little to no micro bubbles and I'd rather that than anything. Plus I get better turbulence on the top of the water so I'm gonna keep it this way.

Just a 10g. It will eventually become a QT tank when I upgrade after I find I can keep up with this hobby or not. So far so good because I don't have live stock

Haha I know what you mean. I started with a 12 gallon nano and it was a pain in the butt. I've had it setup for a year and didn't kill to many corals. Haha now I have the 55 gallon and I'm confident I can keep them now and it should be a little easier with the 55 now to.

I plan on going to a 40g by IM. I really like their tanks. This will he a minimum bioload tank so hopefully it won't be a painful learning experience.

I love the IM tanks but I got this 55 gallon for free so I couldn't pass on setting this one up

Free is usually good. As soon as I set mine up someone offered me a 55 with a filter of some sort for free.

I really like the 55 but the only down fall which everyone talks about is the depth is only 13inchs so it makes it hard to aquascape but I didn't find it to difficult and I think mine turned out pretty good.

Nice

Thanks! I think I might start a small build thread on this tank.
