180 gallon 72"x24"x25"
Not yet set up
Reef (LPS & a few clams)
I plan on having a mixture of invertebrates

(ordered by when I plan on adding them)

Mated pair Black & White Ocellaris Clowns (will they take up too much real estate paired?)

Midas Blenny

Linespot Flasher Wrasse

McCosker's Flasher Wrasse

Yellowhead Jawfish

3 Lyretail Anthias (1 male & 2 female) (Will they compete with dragonets for Copepods?)

Orchid Dottyback (tank bred)

Green Mandarin (after 7-8 months)

Ruby Red Dragonet

Blue Tang really needs an 8 foot tank, especially if adding another tang

Powder Brown Tang (should I choose 1 tang, or can they coexist in a 6ft?) 8 foot is better, 6 foot is marginal for two tangs, especially if one is P. hepatus

Thanks for your time :)

always a pleasure and check back with any questions.

well fed is always good, but since dwarf angels feed constantly, it will not keep corals safe.

Something very smart that I read once. A fishes individual personality plays into it too. Docile fish have been aggressive and aggressive fish have been docile. Thank you for the warning and advice. I'll keep a close eye on him when I get him and see what he does. If he eats my coral I'll take him back to the lfs. I just have to hope I get a good one. Lol

Looking at yellow coris wrasse or solarius wrasse either would compete with your leopard wrasse

Would love to fit yellow tang no way with an existing tang, but even without, needs a longer tank

Thoughts?
 
Double check:

2 occ clowns
1 royal gramma
1 green clown goby
1 lawnmower blenny

i have a small cuc (about 3 hermits, 7 snails)

biocube 29. 20# LR
 
Thanks. So far, the hermits have been leaving the snails alone. I have two margaritas which are fairly large, and 5 nassarius which are always buried. The hermits are tiny (maybe the size of a pea)
 
Steve!

Tell me about Randall's Assessor basslet for 37g

Two spot goby, helfrichi firefish, 2 ocellaris and tanakas Pygmy wrasse all in so far

Was going to do a black axil chromis for last fish but love this guy. Would it work?

Unfortunately, the two spot goby will not work long term; however the Assessor basslet will.
 
Thank you. :). Two spot (gobster as I call him) has luckily taken to my adding some prepared meaty bits to the sand he sifts. So far so good, and I enjoy feeding him.
 
Sorry Snorvich, Im shopping around.

What if I changed the Goby for a Longnose Hawkfish?
2 occ clowns
1 royal gramma
1 green clown goby
1 lawnmower blenny

I figuring the blenny will clean algae, the hawkfish and gramma will be active, and the clowns will hang together

It would work, but they are not shrimp or small fish safe

Sorry, but I do not provide analysis on aggressive fish tanks. However we have an Aggressive fish forum where many answers will be available.

Ok, my wife and I have an itch for a new addition.
46g bowfront, 10 months old.
We do have a couple of corals at the moment and will probably be adding more in the future.

Current inhabitants:
2 ocellaris clownfish
1 green chromis
1 yellow wrasse
1 coral banded shrimp
assorted cuc

Here's the list my wife left me:
Longfin fairy wrasse
McCosker's Flasher Wrasse
Tanaka's Pygmy Wrasse
PJ Cardinal
Tailspot Blenny
Royal Gramma

I was also considering something from the dwarf angel species.
Thanks in advance
