Definitely a few shrimp gobies I absolutely love them prob a yasha and prob a Randall's. A pair of designer clowns,6 line wrasse,midas blenny,longnose hawkfish,and maybe a jawfish.

One thing I did a little different on my sump department I switched the skimmer and fuge spots so my fuel could be bigger and my skimmer fit in the smaller spot, I've already got some live rock in it, gonna wait till the cycle is totally finished to pick up some seed algae.

Picked up a bonded pair of Picasso perks from SA aquatics there local to me and have amazing deals on clowns. Also picked up one of there captive bred Mandarinfish. And scored a ton of florida ricordia's for 20 a frag and half the frags had multiple shrooms on it.

@acanman Are you QT’ing your fish before you put them into your display tank?

 

[acanman]

No I dont quarantine unless its a tang or something that is known to not do well then I will, I put all those fish in st the same time besides the clowns I just added a whole bottle of Dr Tim's at the same time and that was it

Some acans I fragged up.

 

[powers2001]

@acanman could you post a recent picture of your full tank shot please? Looks like you have a lot of real estate on the top half of your aquascape. Are you saving that for something special?

 

[acanman]

Sorry yes saving the upper half for some nice acros
