Hello everyone,
Had a few issues at first, but everything seems to be going great. I have done a ton of research for stocking my 65g (36x24x18) and have put together a list (or two). 90lbs live rock with 10-15 caves. Just want to check for any compatibility issues I'm not aware of. I want a peaceful tank, that is 100% reef safe with fish that I can keep permanently. I'm aware of the hostile snails vs crabs issue, but I'll just not buy snails if I can get an effective grazer.
What's in tank (In add order)
5x Scarlet Reef Hermit Crab (Paguristes cadenati)
5x Dwarf Blue Leg Hermit (Clibanarius tricolor)
1x Emerald Crab (Mithraculus sculptus)
1x Super Tongan Nassarius Snail (Nassarius distortus)
1x Blue/Green Reef Chromis (Chromis viridis)
2x Firefish (Nemateleotris magnifica) (Yes, they are a Bonded/Mated Pair)
2x Scarlet Skunk Cleaner Shrimp (Lysmata amboinensis)
1x Ocellaris Clownfish (Amphiprion ocellaris)
What I originally intended to add before reading thousands of posts by Snorvich (If I'm wrong, please let me know):
1x Midas Blenny (Ecsenius midas) (Nipper)
1x Kole Yellow Eye Tang (Ctenochaetus strigosus) (Not enough space)
What I'd like to add now:
1x Royal Gramma Basslet (Gramma loreto)
1x Yellow Banded Possum Wrasse (Wetmorella nigropinnata) OR 1x White Banded Possum Wrasse (Wetmorella albofasciata)
1x Starry Blenny (Salarias ramosus) (Is this a good enough grazer if no snails? Suggestions welcome)
1x Clown Goby, Yellow (Gobiodon okinawae)
Any help is greatly appreciated!
