Deep Blue 57 stock lists--- and GO!!!

[Sobo's Reef]

Tryna get ideas for my tank down the line, show me what everyone is stocking their 57's with!!!

My tank is a bit smaller, its a 46, but my stocking list is
1 banggai cardinal
2 mocha clowns
1 yellow watchman goby
1 firefish
1 starry blenny
Some people say thats too many fish, some people say I can add more. I think its really up to your filtration and what corals you plan on keeping. If its an all SPS tank maybe you would want even lighter stocking

That would be a lighter stocked 46.. I do agree that adequate biological filtration is the determining factor in whether a tank is correctly stocked

Yellow candy hogfish
Sapphire Damsel
Clown trio (puzzled how this is persisting)
Juvenile one spot foxface (new addition, upgrading tank next June)
Banggai cardinal (probably won't do again)

I was thinking of making mine a wrasse tank whenever I get it up and running... still very early on the build stage

You could do upwards of 5 or so peaceful wrasse if you have enough LR/ hiding places to allow them to deal with possible aggression

A 57g has a few options for a wrasse tank.

My suggestion for that would be:
Halichoere chrysus
Cirrhilabrus isosceles or lunatus
C. lubbocki
C. rhomboids
2-3 flasher of different species
One leopard, either meleagris, bipartitus, or ornatus.
