Hi guys! I recently lost all my fish due to ich, and while I patiently wait 4 more weeks until I can add more fish I I'm staring to think about a new stock list. The tank is a 60 gallon reef tank with 80 lbs of live rock and a fluval 406 canister filter. The only fish that I have is a tomini tang who will sit in quarantine for the next 6-10 weeks. The tank has been set up for just over a year. My goal is to make the tank as peaceful as I can, while being as colorful as possible. I was thinking:
Tomini Tang
Greenbanded Goby
Midas Blenny
Pygmy (Cherub) Angel
Royal Gramma
Two Spot Goby
Manadrin?
Sunburst Anthias
A pair of clowns
Lubbocks Fairy Wrasse
Is this to many fish? And will they be compatible? If so what order would you recommend adding them in? Thanks for all the help!

40G breeder wo sump
Have 2 Ocellaris Clowns
Starry Blenny
Haven't added anything new in over 3 months
Looking to add a Pajama Cardinal and a Royal Gramma or Benggai Cardinal. Looking to do both at once in a 20L qt.
Would I be at my max at that point? I also have a fire shrimp and peppermint.
Thanks for your help Steve

The tang was not exposed to the disease. The tank if 4ft long, isnt that good enough for the tang? Also could you explain what is the issue with the anthias? Thanks for the help will remove mandarin and twin spot goby from the list.

My tank is a 34 gallon Red Sea max 130c:
My stocking List is as follows:
1 bicolor Benny
1 six line wrasse
2 black ice ocelaris clownfish
Hermits and snails
And lots of coral
My filtration is what came with the tank, but I do 15% weekly water changes so my water quality has been very good despite not having the best mechanical filtration.
In the future fish I am thinking about ( not getting all of course probably only one maybe two)
1 clown goby
1 ruby red dragonet( not to sure about their needs sill researching, are they as picky as other dragonets?)
1 long nose hawkfish( would be last addition)
1 yellow candy hog fish
1 yasha goby
Maybe an African flame back angel but probably not
Please let me know what you think or if you have any other suggestions

The sixline wrasse will preclude most tank mates other than the clown goby

1 clown goby
1 ruby red dragonet( not to sure about their needs sill researching, are they as picky as other dragonets?) yes and the sixline will prevent that
1 long nose hawkfish( would be last addition) not shrimp or small fish safe
1 yellow candy hog fish not shrimp or small fish safe
1 yasha goby

Would the sixline kill the long nose hawkfish, cause I am fine with not having shrimp to get one

Hi Steve, back again, I have a 55gal with HOB AC70, no sump, HOB skimmer on the way. Going with a drilled 75 w/ 38gal sump next year. Approximately 20-40 lbs live rock, no sand. More rock and a DSB will be added in the next couple of months. After going larger with sump and good lights I'll be adding a RBTA for the Clowns.
Current livestock:
pair of Ocellaris Clowns (just reaching maturity 2" & 2.5")
pair of Pajama Cardinals (1.5-2")
one Neon Dottyback
one Firefish
assorted snails and hermits (need more snails)
The neon dottyback and the pajamas will find new homes. This will leave me with a pair of clowns and the fire fish. My wife insists on a Green Canary Blenny as a replacement for the dottyback.
What I'd like to add:
1 or 2 Skunk cleaner shrimp
a Blood Red Fire shrimp
a Yasha Goby and randall's shrimp pair
a yellow-head jawfish pair
and if possible, a pair of zebra barred dartfish OR a black axil chromis.
Will these coexist peacefully? Bioload is high and would not fill list until upgrade.

A sixline probably would not interact with a long nosed hawkfish but it might kill or harass any copepod eater.
Assuming you did not add fish until you have established the new tank, the plan should be fine. You will need an appropriate substrate for the jawfish (which are great fish). Also, the BTA should not be added until the new tank is mature.

69 gal DT, 20 gal sump + 40 gal Refugium with mantis shrimp
Current inhabitants of dt are
pair of percula clowns,
royal gramma,
starry blenny,
tail spot blenny,
2 chromis,
long nose hawkfish.
I want to add a pair of valentini puffers. I have found a male and female and will gradually introduce them together in qt. if it doesn't work then I will return one to lfs. I have researched this and have a good plan as to how to go about it and these particular puffers are found in large groups.
