Ideas for new tank

[Sapi]

Hi

I'm new to marine and I'm just setting up a 3ft, 225l tank with additional sump. I'm starting to think about fish and think I have a few ideas which I'd be really keen to get some thoughts on. I'm wanting to put corals in too later down the line:

2xclown fish (is it better to go for true or false?)
watchman goby
Clown goby (maybe)
Royal gramma
Pink streaked wrasse
3 (or more)Blue reef chromis (I really want something with nice blue vivid colours so open to suggestions)

This is the list at the mo but I feel like I have gone round in circles!! I'd like to put something as a feature fish in (instead of one of the others as I think I'd be over stocked?) but ruled them out due to various probs; a dwarf angel (nips at corals) puffer (eats inverts), tang (tank not long enough). Any suggestions or advice on the listed ones?

Thanks a lot :crazy1:

I would skip the chromis and get a harem of Anthias

Chromis often carry diseases and will usually kill each other. Try anthias instead, they're good schoolers.
If you want something blue, try a yellowtail blue damsel as a last addition. They can be little jerks, but they're small and shouldn't bother your others if added last.
Look into chalk basses. They're cool. Also, get a tiger pistol shrimp to go with your watchman goby.

Great - thanks for the suggestions. Think I'm going to stay clear of the chromis. Like the idea of the yellowtail blue damsel - always been put off them due to aggressive nature of damsels but they seem to be a bit more chilled than some of the others - it suggests keeping them in odd numbered groups. Is it ok to have one on its own?

Been looking at blue gudgeon dartfish and the chalk basses too which may be a possibility
