Hey guys,
I set up my first reef tank a couple months ago and I’m looking for some advice on stocking for my 13.5g EVO. I’m leaning towards an algae eater but want to see if I can get a pop of colour as well.
Current stocking
2 clowns
3 Astraea snails
2 Nassarius snails
1 Emerald crab
2 Dwarf blue leg hermits
Any suggestions on your favourites would be great. Would two clowns and 1 or 2 utilitarian fish be pushing it? I’ve got a good amount of bio media in the back and will be adding a refrugium to chamber 2 in the coming months.
