Fish list compatibility?

So your saying that there would just be too much aggression, as well as an excess of possible stress factors on the fish. Correct?

Thanks for all of your help!

Yea aggression is a big thing, disease from stress (saltwater fish dont like to be cramped at all unlike freshwater fish) and not enough swimming room and territory. Will cause deaths too with how much they can fight.

My 70 gallon (when I had it) was stocked with
2 clownfish
3 chromis
Raccoon butterfly
Hawkfish
Blenny
Mandrin dragonette
Watchmen goby
Dottyback

Do you have a picture of all of those fish in there?
How much rock do you have?

How much poop does that produce on a daily basis?

How much does it cost to feed that many fish?

What kind of CUC do you use?

I have a 43g and I am hoping I can get 4-5 fish total in there.

They need space and safety or they will not be happy and die.

The only fish that are on the more aggressive side are the Naoko Fairy wrasse and Azure damsel. They are all very peaceful fish and there wouldn’t be any complete bullies besides maybe the yellow tang when it gets bigger but I would get it at about 1-1.5 inches from biota. As for nutrients I will be running an oversized sump with a cryptic fuge, a normal refugium with deep sand bed, and an oversized skimmer due to the fish/bio load. I am not really worried about the nutrient export and its effectiveness. I have seen tanks with similar levels of stocking if not more. While it may be a large number of fish, many of the fish are very small and bring minimal additions in terms of bio load. With this said, I know it will be difficult but I have many tanks and I am prepared to isolate and remove fish if necessary.

Great, throw in a Panther Grouper for some spice!

Yeah Im sure I could find a picture, I upgraded. I feed a mix of frozen and pellets (because of cost). And I currently dont have a CUC in my 300. I have eels now, they munch on all kinds of inverts. I use fish as clean up crew (herbivores like angels and tangs) cause they pick at the rocks all day long. I also use sea hares when the algae is grown out enough for them to have food. I do use snails and conches and hermits, usually small to not attract the eels attention but they do get eaten a lot but thats just how it is with the fish I keep.

As for rock I have a lot of rock. Not sure how much but its super dense to give my fish places to hide, sleep and swim.

Poop I have a skimmer rated for a 500 gallon tank (my tank is 300 gallons) cause eels and tangs poop a ton. Here are some pictures of parts of my 300 gallon to show the rock work
