New to saltwater and need help stocking!

[ryan47]

I have worked in a petshop before handling fish and such. Ive had many freshwater tanks but just recently got into salt, I have a 38 gallon bow front with a good amount of live rock in it. Need help stocking it, what would i be able to put in there? I would like to do a reef tank!

A orange spotted goby
A Red fire shrimp

I have a red fire shrimp so far and hes awesome! I for sure want a royal gramma, so i guess what im wondering is what else would go along with them well?

Sorry, I only know the ones on the list go well together, they are all in my tank + a mandarin and a red scooter blenny, I have mature LR to keep these two exclusive POD eaters alive.

Lysmata debelius (fire shrimp) like to hide and usually only come out at night. You might want to skip this one.
Firefish can be jumpers so watch out for this.
List is a good one.
