My recollection is that one species of banner fish is reef safe and one is not. It has been a few years so I do not remember which one is and which is not.
PLEASE check out your intended fish purchases here first!

Here is a tenative stock list for My 75 gal mixed reef. I'd like to have inverts but I cannot get past getting a fuzzy dwarf so I believe those might be out of the question.
Sailfin tang
Fuzzy dwarf lion
Mandarin goby
Black Saddleback clown x 2
Lunare wrasse
Dwarf flame angel
Ruby red dragonet

Sorry, I do not provide analysis on aggressive fish community tanks. (in your case, with a dwarf lion, you would be providing a lot of expensive snacks) You can post your own thread here.
Currently have a 6ft 125 Gallon Tank with 55gallon sump
Current occupants are,
1 Fox Face Trigger Fish
2 Tank Bread Orc Clowns
9 Blue Streak Cardinal
1 Blood Red Fire Shrimp
1 Diamond Watchman Goby
Wanted to add Wrasses, and local breeder has a bunch that just came out of quarantine (Love buying my fish from him as he quarantines and treats all fish prior to selling)
was think of picking up this combination of wrasses
1 Yellow Coris Wrasse
1 Carpenters Wrasse
1 Blue Headed Fairy Wrasse
1 Red Head Solon Wrasse
Should be okay I hope

I'm so glad I found this site before I bought a bunch of fish that my lfs would gladly sell me but won't work!
I have a 55gal with plenty of live rock, sand, protein skimmer, filter and powerheads
Currently housed:
2 ocellaris clowns (introduced about a month ago)
2 pj cardinals (just bought them, currently in quarintine)
Plan to get:
1 diamond sleeper goby or golden head sleeper goby
1 angelfish - I like Flame or Coral Beauty if my tank is big enough?
1 tang - again, whatever my tank will hold, if anything???
I'm open to suggestions for the rest, especially if some of what I was going to get won't fit
Thanks for the help!

Tangs are min of 75g or 6' in length as they need the room to swim.
I have done worse. :uhoh2: A rabbitfish would do better in a larger tank, however, so do not add any additional algae grazers (wrasses don't eat algae)

I have a 36x16x12 mixed reef, with 20 gallon sump. Currently there is a YWG, Swiss Guard Basset, Pink Streaked Wrasse, and Maroon clown. Could I add a Chalk Bass, or Gold Assessor Basslet? I'm not sure if either one would get along with the Swiss Guard, who rarely is out swimming.
google has given me a green light for this, so unless anyone stops me im going to the LFS and getting them!

Both must be tiny and then it will be fine. If one is not tiny, the other one absolutely must be.

I have a 15 Gallon Tank (Long Design Rather than Taller), with a HOG Refugium. My wife and I were looking at some fish and there are a couple we love. I haven't looked too far into how many fish I should have just yet as I am still cycling my tank and currently getting caught up on CUC required and Cycling and Proper Water flow.. etc.
We were planning on having the following, All fish were to be probably as small as we can get them from the Fish Store:
2 Clowns (True Percula)
Cleaner Shrimp
Now this is the part were debating on:
She Loves the Moorish Idol, but I've heard bad things about them.
And I Love the Porkipine Puffer.
Anything We should be worried about?
Thanks in Advance
