Hello, I’ve finished setting up my sump for my 60 gallon breeder. I set this tank up a while ago using live ocean rock but I’m just now adding a sump and fish to it. The dimensions of the tank are 48.5" x 18.5"x 18".

So far, I’ve only added a pair of clownfish and some soft coral and they’re doing fine. I 100% want to add a one spot foxface and I heard that they can live fine in this tank because of the dimensions. What other fish can I add?

As for inverts, any cool ones I should get? I have some algae but I’m assuming once I get a skimmer, setup my refugium, and add the foxface it’ll be gone.

Any thoughts and recommendations are appreciated!

Would not put a foxface in that size tank. Its a very large fish and would be very cramped in a 60 gallon. I had one in my 70 and she got so big I loved her to my other 6 foot tank and she was way happier
