I have a 75g with a 55g (using about 30g of it) sump. 110 lbs of LR allowing swimming room in front and back with lots of hiding spots, and a reef octopus nw-200 (rated for 200+gallons) skimmer.
Currently I have 5 fish.
1. 1 1/4" TR clown
2. 1 1/4" TR clown (they always hang out but haven't decided on sexes yet, still too young).
3. 2 1/2" Lawnmower blenny
4. 2 1/2" Yellow Tang (biggest part of bioload by far, and yes I am aware he/she should be in a 6' tank, this is not my question).
5. 2" or so Chalk bass.
3 shrimps
1. Skunk Cleaner
2. Skunk Cleaner
3. Peppermint Shrimp
All of the shrimp are about the same size and the cleaners routinely have eggs so I believe they are at least half grown.
Clean up crew
10 red legged hermits
3 Astreas
5 ceriths
4 turbos
tons of small feather dusters, pineapple sponges, very large stomatella, probably 10+ mini brittle stars and a good pod population.
Various zoas, anthelia, xenia, palys, and a couple leathers. I do plan on trying the harder corals sps+lps in the future.
I am trying to go off the full grown size of my fish in order to stock it. The tang of course takes up damn near half of my list (wife had to have it).
I would like to add a purple firefish and/or a sixline wrasse and possibly a small goby of some type. I absolutely love a few different damsels and dottybacks but they are so damn aggressive so they aren't an option.
Any recommendations on future reef safe fish, inverts, etc? My cleanup crew seems quite effective but I also like fish with a purpose (i.e. sixline eats certain bad stuff). And would I really be able to add anything else?
