so im doing a new build 2 60g frag tanks each tank is 48x24x12 plumbed to the same sump. I have always had a good amount of fish in my tanks as bioload and I feel it helps the coral so im looking for a stocking on what you would use in these tanks more of worker fish as these are gonna be 1 tank a sps grow out tank bare bottom lined with high end acros on tiles and the other tank is gonna be a zoa/ lps grow out tank but obviously not as heavy on fish as a display.

Cleaner shrimp should be a good option, just read up on having multiple. Main goal is see here, is obviously not having anything to attack, knock over, or climb to terribly much over your coral.

Good advice so far! I would go with a yellow tang or another tang known for eating algae so they can pick around the plugs and help clean. Watch out for jumpers :D
