Hi all, my 40g cube has been running nicely for a month or so. Nitrates coming down, phosphate slowly reducing. I have a 5g sump so full system is 45g. I have a nice load of live rock and just upgraded the light to popbloom rl90 which I'm running at 85%. I will be looking to check par levels soon.

My current stock list is :
Pair of percula clowns
Bengai cardinal
Chalk bass
Royal gramma

A few snails and hermits as well as a cleaner shrimp and emerald crab.

I am going to add a goby/shrimp pair but then I'm looking for suggestions. Is there a wrasse that I could add, or a dwarf angel or something else? Not looking for many fish now. I am going to start adding some soft corals next, zoas and a toadstool. After Christmas I'm going to start with lps (hammers, torches, acans).

Thank you for reading, I appreciate any advice you offer in terms of livestock etc.

Coral B, flame, flameback are some options for angels.

Possum wrass, six line, pink streak, and certain fairy wrasse are good options for wrasse.
