Midas Blenie from Africa is really cool! From Africa because he is larger from there.

How difficult to keep are leopard wrasse?
And are you guys keeping stocking light for these tanks? I ask because I have 5 in a 35g tank and was planning closer to 10 for my 70g (which is same size as 65 but like 1" taller).
For me, I was planning:
2x Osc.Clowns
2x Green Reef Chromis
Midas Blenny
3x Lyretail Anthias
Dwarf Angel
Carpenter Flasher Wrasse
Six Line wrasse (unless I can manage to sell it).

Leopard Wrasse aren't hard to keep, but not for beginners. They do well in established reefs over 50g and :inlove: <b>deep sand bed</b>, as they will burrow at night. I remember the first time we got them in at the LFS I worked for, & the next morning there was no sign of the two females we had the night before. :worried: We were like, uhhhhh.....where in the?? :lol2: They seem to take a few days to acclimate to a new tank and you may not see them for a few. Best food we found was mix of frozen mysis with cyclop-eeze & soaking in a few drops of Selcon garlic additive. Some will be picky but I saw 99% become healthy eaters.
Regarding your stocking list:
I would not suggest such a heavy bioload, but it's not impossible, I suppose. :hmm2: I would scratch the chromis as they aren't much of a personality :hmm3: and will just add bioload. You don't need that with all the other fish you wish to keep. Plus, chromis are fast, aggressive eaters, and may take in more food meant your corals than anyone. Anthias need <b>A LOT</b> of swimming space,:fish1: so set up you rock work accordingly. Some may say 70g is too small for more than only a pair of Anthias. Be careful which dwarf angel you choose. Just do your research and don't do anything you will later regret! :hammer:
BTW: One of my fav fish are six line wrasse, why in the world would you want to get rid of him?!?!?!
LMK, as I am curious.:wave:
Good luck in your reef journey!

midas blennys ARE awesome! they will be very shy at first but will start to come out more and they are amazing! but do not get more than one..
My SixLine is terrorizing my other fish. Now it could be the size of the tank, but from what I hear that's unlikely. He is a great fish though and I would love to keep him, but he is an absolute pain to catch. Tearing down a 36g with like 5 large rocks is easy. Tearing down a 70g with a huge mountain of rocks is another story.
As for the anthias rockscaping, what I was planning was a large mountain of rocks on the far left corner that would go up about 20". Then I'd have a smaller mountain by the overflow that went up about 15". And that's probably it.
Should be quite a lot of upper tank swimming room as the tank itself is 25" tall.
