After going back and forth with my family we decided to get a 75-gallon tank, someone had recommended me a 75-gallon tank as it works better as a reef tank due to its layout. I'm trying to come up with a stock list so I can look around while my tank cycles.
  • Diamond sand sifting Goby
  • Yellow Watchman and pistol shrimp pair
  • Banggai or PJ cardinal
  • 2 Ocellaris clownfish
  • Pincushion or tuxedo urchin
  • Mandarin Goby (further down the line)
  • Bubble tip Anemone (after 1 year)
  • Assorted corals
  • Maybe Reef Chromis
  • Skunk Cleaner Shrimp
Does anyone have any recommendations for CuC? Can I have more fish in my tank, if so does anyone have any reef-safe recommendations?

I’m sold on the copperband butterfly for aiptasia control and the foxface fishes for bubble and other common hitchhiker algae that travel on frags purchased from many fish stores and coral suppliers. They are small enough to be happy for a long time in a 75 gallon tank.

Thanks for the response, I think foxface are pretty cool and was looking into them earlier so I will definitely consider one.
