Took almost 3 months, But it finally arrived! Waterbox 65.4 in aspen! Will be Euphyllia heavy with some zoas and acans tossed in for good measure as the significant other really likes them. I may have over done it on flow running a Maxspec gyre 350 and a Nero 5 but time will tell. Return pump is an Sicce SDC 3.0. Tunze 9004 skimmer and the osmolater round out the wet stuff. A pair of gen 5 XR15 pros for the lighting, mounted on the RMS hanging rail so I can add to it if I want without having to purchase more mounts. For sure fish will be...

2 clowns, 1 is in the tank a black ice and will be adding a midnight when I can get my hands on one
1 royal gramma
2 Bengali cardinals if I can find a pair as I don't like buying fish to just hope they work and don't die. Otherwise, a single or skip these all together
1 Helfrich firefish
1 Randalls watchman


Fish that are on the list but obviously have some choices as not all of them will go
Tailspot blenny
Pink streak wrasse
Maldives Flasher wrasse
Small tang like a twin spot or white tail
Maybe a few damsels like the springeri or talbots
In a year or so maybe throw in a mandarin of some sort

Inverts
Other then clean up crew a pair of cleaners or cleaner blood shrimp
Maybe a porcelain crab
A conch for sure

Ideas, comments, ideas? Thanks guys and I can't wait as this is my first saltwater tank over 30 gallons!

So much fun starting a new tank. I like the rockwork.
Thank you! Being lower light corals I wanted the space below but wanted a spot in the future I could put something that likes more light. Made from A cave, several arches and a section of the reef tree to try and get a bunch of places the fish can tuck under.
 

HOW MUCH DOES A FISH’S FEEDING REQUIREMENTS AFFECT YOUR STOCKING DECISIONS?
