Right now i am thinking 2 clowns, 2 bangaii or pyjama cardinals and a yellow watchman goby. am i at my limit? what else would work well in there and also be really coulourfull. I am also deciding if after growing pods in the refugium for a few months i will be able to have a mandarin? There is an LFS near me that has some that will eat frozen foods such as mysis aswell as pods.

Swissguard basslet, black cap basslet, bodianus bimaculatus are possible choices. If I was to have one fish it would be a Carmabi basslet. Good luck in finding one and get out your check book.

Here are a few ideas...show me your cubes
To me this is one of those ideal reef aquarium shapes. I was torn between this and the 120g I went with. Anyways your fish load will depend on the skimmer and your husbandry, but to me your way on the light side. If the mandarin is eating frozen food then there would be no reason to wait and a guarantee like that doesn't come around that often. Some other suggestions for fish could be chromis, fairy wrasse, smaller anthesis spec, or gobies that dwell more on the rock vs. the sand.

Anemone and clownfish.

A nice pair of Latezonatus clowns and anemone. That would make a great species set up. Another wallet buster.
