I'm new to reefing and I'm working on putting together a stock list for a Reefer 350. Its dimensions are 47"x21"x20". This is a new tank with (I think) a moderate amount of rock and a 0.5-1" sand bed. I hope to start adding LPS corals at some point over the next 6 months.
I'd like some utilitarian fish for algae, but I don't want to re-home if I can avoid it. Larger fish on the list are a one-spot foxface or a bristletooth tang. Do I need to choose between these two or will both work in the tank?
One spot foxface
White tail or square tail tang
Coral beauty
Red or purple firefish <-Evidently they are easily spooked and hide. This tank is in a moderately trafficked area. I don't want to never see it.
Royal gramma
Melanurus wrasse <---Sand bed too shallow?
Algae, Bicolor or other blenny
Watchman, neon, or pink stripe goby
2 clowns - already in the tank
