So I was big into freshwater tank and finally jumped into saltwater tanks. I love all the utilitarian stuff.

So here is a list of my livestock for my 110gallon cube tank:
2 clowns, 1 scopas tang, 1 yellow tang, 1 lawnmower blenny, 3 reef chromis, 2 bangaii cardinals, 4 peppermint shrimp, handful of assorted snails, emerald crabs and hermit crabs.

Did I overstock or is there something missing I need to add for utilitarian purposes?

Is there something I should add plant or macroalgae wise?

I wouldn’t say over stocked but just keep an eye on the tangs as they grow. You could run into a little aggression as they grow or they could turn out to be the best of pals! Maybe add a couple of the more peaceful Halichoeres wrasses for a splash of color and utilitarian purposes? Welcome to R2R!!!

Nice tank indeed!

Please be patient. Don't rush. Go slow. How many other ways can I say it? ;)

It would be a shame if such a beautiful tank fell apart because of impatience. Be sure to wait out a healthy quarantine period before adding new fish to a disease-free tank.

Good Luck!

Howdy and welcome. I think your good as far as fish. Think about a few more snails. I like fighting conchs but not sure you could keep one alive given the size of your tank. I would emphasize what Dom said, "PATIENCE!" Give your tank a few months to stabilize. Thanks for the pics, nice looking tank.
