Yes. I'm planning on having a pair of ocellaris and a tail spot blenny but no matter what size tank I will forever avoid a tomato clown.

I also have a flex 15 at work. I bought 2 stubby clowns from ORA through saltwater aquarium.com. I also have a yellow line goby in there with a small cuc and a tuxedo urchin. Only running a refugium in the middle section and filter floss. Its doing great.

Lol theres some pretty cool gobies that would be fun to add! My IM 15 just has two percs, a coral banded shrimp, emerald crab, 2 snails, conch and 2 hermits. Its a very mellow tank

As in I should stay away from a tail spot? Or did I misunderstand.

Do you have any recommendations for cycling? I have rubble rock and ceramic balls from my dad's tank already. I have 2 pieces of dry rock and one piece of live rock. Last night I set my tank up and I dosed microbacteria. Should I ghost feed, and when should I add bacteria again?

Congrats! I have one as well I will post photos soon. Very intriguing design the fluval flex has.

Okay thank you

Try the pistol shrimp and a watchman goby, they'll pair up and make a burrow in your sand. The goby will act as the eyes of the shrimp because he can't see well.
