stocking my first small tank

[chirojosh]

Ive always had larger marine tank setups. I am setting one up in my office. It just a 45g cube, 24 x 24 x 18, I believe. Looking for small fish and inverts, def some cleaner shrimp, serpent star, hermits and snails. For fish maybe couple clowns? maybe chromis? a wrasse? never had a tank this small before. what would you do?

A couple Ocellaris clownfish, a Bangaii Cardinal, a Royal gramma, and perhaps a yellow Coris wrasse. Maybe an orange spotted goby as well.

A Blenny would do well in a tank that size also. I like the bicolor blenny.

I would do:

2 ocellaris clownfish with a sand anemone or bubble tip
1 bi colour blenny or a cherub angelfish
and 2 yasha gobies with 2 pistol shrimp

That looks like a decent setup

Another addition to my list would be a neon goby or a clown goby,as they stay very small

That tank isn't really all that small. Most things should work besides tangs. I would look into dwarf angelfish (they tend to be the best looking of the smaller fish) Firefish will be really cool to people that aren't used to seeing SW tanks.
