I have a 50gal Waterbox AIO (so about 41gal display) and wanted some recommendations on my stocking list

  • Clown Pair
  • YWG/Pistol Pair
  • Purple Firefish
  • Diamond Goby
  • Mandarin
  • Pink Streaked Wrasse or a Long Nose Hawk


  • Skunk Cleaner Shrimp
  • Fire Red Shrimp
  • Long Spine Urchin
  • Various CuC (blue legged hermits and snails)

The tank is a mixed reef with mostly LPS (torches everywhere lol)

Open to any suggestions and thoughts! :)

Is this your first urchins? Urchins can drive you crazy, esp with zoa’s or insecurely glued corals. NTM they bite! Oh and that 50g is temporary housing for that long spine... I give it 2yrs
oftentimes I’ve imagined mine dried out as a paper weight :D

Looks great! but on the Mandarin if you are getting one early get a captive breed one I got mine from biota and he was eating frozen the day I got him barely touches the pods its based on the exact fish though.

hahah ok -- good to know! I always thought they looked really cool, but might forgo one for the time being then!

the mandarin will be towards the end, and it will be a biota one!

if this is a new tank skip the diamond goby or skip it all together they are hit and miss on surviving in tanks due to starvation
yeah I read this too -- I just love the way he looks chomping on the sand all day lol

but he will be a later addition to the tank for sure.
