Hey guys I have a 40 gallon reef tank set up and it’s almost out of the cycling stage. I plan on keeping hardy corals in there and adding them once the tank is about 3-6 months old, or at least after the algae bloom stage is over. I am thinking of adding the following fish:
- 1x Clownfish: I want to add just one to limit aggression… any advice there?
- 3x Blue/green Chromis: I heard they like to be aggressive words eachother so I’m on the fence of getting them or not
- 1x shrimp pairing goby: probably a watchman, or pink spotted
-1x six-lined wrasse: I will add this last and look for a small one to purchase
- potential purchases: longnose hawkfish, flame hawkfish, blenny (is there any algae eating blenny?), jawfish. I won’t purchase all of these probably just a couple.
- I plan on adding a CUC as needed: algae eating snails, hermit crabs, cleaner shrimp, carnivorous snails and a pistol shrimp for the goby
- I plan on getting Xenia, Zoanthids, mushroom, brain, toadstool and trumpet corals. Also what are good places for my coral to be mounted?
Anyone have any experience with these fish that are good and or bad? I would appreciate any advice even on corals to purchase. Also any recommendations to what fish I could stock in my tank that arnt on this list that could help eat unwanted pest would be appreciated too!
