Heres the future fish list... I know I like to have a full reef.

Another black and white clown
Hi fin red banded goby
Red mandarin
3 spotted cardinals
3 acares midget reef chromis
Starry blenny

So fully grown ill have a total of 31" of fish. So I over shot by 2" since I like to do an inch a gallon but I figure with the sump/fuge being a 29 also then ill be ok

oo you might catch some flack with the Mandarin, they have very special needs that are worth looking up.

I'm not trying to shoot your list down, I'm not one of those people, but I think you will have a hard time getting that many fish in that tank. The old freshwater rule of thumb for 1" of fish per gallon doesn't really apply here. It's not so much that your tank can't handle the bioload, it is the fact that saltwater fish can be very territorial and it is more of a behavioral thing.

Ok from the list what do you recommend. Im all about listening to everyone opinion. Thats why I post everything lol. Im still new for saltwater. When I had my 120 it was great because I could put alot in there haha

You do?

I'd you can see rock that's a place for a coral. I think it is kinda empty.

Good outlook on it but corals grow and spread

 

[anarchy02]

Any opinions on the fish list for the future? Other than the red mandarin its off the list unfortunately

 

[bfin3]

I would get a purple firefish and orange prawn goby in addition to your clown.
