Standard 55g.
Tank has appeared to cycle, but im going to give it another couple weeks and watch closely.
LFS has a tail spot blennie that i have had my eye on.
Would a Tail Spot Blennie be a good first reef inhabitant?
The only other additional fish i know for certain i will want to add down the line is a pair of clowns.
I intend the tank to be a mostly zoanthid dominated tank.

Hello Steve, most of my tank specs are in my signiture..
2 oc clowns
1 diamond goby9can I pair a pistal shrimp with it)
six line wrasse maybe??
1 yellow tail damsel
2 chromis
I am not really sure what else I could add...And if I need to not add one of those choices could you make a suggestion for me to replace the choice..Also would I be able to add more than this or is this the limit for my tank do you think? And one more thing What order should I add them in

Order is always most aggressive last; as those who follow this thread know I do not provide recommendations for a variety of reasons. I am always happy to reanalyze if complete stocking list and tank specs are provided

Hello.
First Steve, thanks so much for your continued help.
My question, assuming everything else being compatible, in a 48x24x26, would 3-4 each of Dispar Anthias and Huchtii Anthias work out?
Other likely denizens are
Royal Gramma
Bicolor Blenny
Hoeven's Wrasse
Zebra Barred Dartfish x 3
Spotted Cardinals x 3-4
With 100 lbs live rock, 120 lbs fine sand, CUC, what do you think?

IM Nuvo 16G tank
IM Nuvo 16G tank
Hi!
I have a IM Nuvo 16g tank with 16kg live rock and a 1-1,5 cm live sand bed. The sump is intergrated on the back of the tank. I keep there about 300g seachem Matrix as a way to extend the nitrifying bacteria surface area. Filtration is floss and act. carbon in the 2 canisters. For circulation I have an mp10.
My cycle is almost done (ammonia & nitrites 0 and nitrates 35 which I'm bringing soon down with water changes). Now I'm looking into what livestock i can put into. Since I haven't had an algae bloom yet I will start with a clown. This will also give some more time to stabilize the tank before adding the cuc (they are more sensitive right)?
If algae happens 3 trochus snails and a blue or red legged hermit will go in.
Other than that I was thinking adding 5 sexy shrimp and a green/blue chromis.
As for corals I'm thinking some zoas, a frogspan and a couple featherdusters.
Do you think this is ok for a 16g tank?

Yes, the collected list should be fine. Note that anthias need to be fed multiple times per day for best results long term (metabolism issue)
A clownfish or chromis is a bit much for a 16 gallon tank; I would suggest looking at smaller fish with less territorial need. There are lots of excellent fish that would work and if you focus on the right ones two small ones would do well.

McCosker's Flasher vs. Inverts
McCosker's Flasher vs. Inverts
Petco online advises against keeping this Wrasse with any crustaceans although I cannot find any other source which references this. Does anyone know whether this is a real problem? I'm planning to purchase one and mostly certainly can't if this is so.
75 gal reef with refugium; inverts including snails, skunk shrimp, brittle star, tiny blue leg hermits.
1 sad little yellow tail damsel
2 bully blue damsels (damsels all came with tank)
1 firefish
1 kaudern cardinal
1 pj cardinal
1 brittle star
1 skunk shrimp
2 false percs

Follow up question, er, two.
Recapping:
In a 48x24x26
Royal Gramma
Bicolor Blenny
Hoeven's Wrasse
Zebra Barred Dartfish x 3
Spotted Cardinals x 3-4
Dispar Anthias x 3-4
Huchtii Anthias x 3-4
Eibli Angel
Kole Tang
With 100 lbs live rock, 120 lbs fine sand, CUC.
1. Substitute Sunrise Dottyback x 2-3 for the Royal Gramma?
2. When tank is well established add CBB?
2.5. Is this load getting too much for rational husbandry, with the multiple feedings daily of the anthias, etc. Total system actual water amount is around 110 gallons.
Thank you!
