Looking for stocking advice for a IM25 Lagoon build. Asked my LSF but they didn't really offer the best advice about it, other than they know someone who has 12+ fish in a 13.5 gallon no problem (yikes). Starting this as a peaceful fowler build, probably will transition to a reef tank after I move in about 2 years.
Looking to stock(rough order of adding):
-2 clowns
-1 midas blenny
-1 watchman goby
-some CUC (going to try to keep the CUC to bigger stuff so the hawk doesn't get carried away)
-1 longnose hawk
Hawk is going to go in last for sure because I know they can have problems with blennies and CUC, but there seems to be a lots of proof online this could definitely work. I'm seeing vastly different answers about the 25G Lagoon where some are saying 3-4 fish and some are saying 7-8 fish. Would this thrive on paper and what is the max fish I could get away with?
I appreciate all advice. I'm a long time lurker of this site and happy to finally make a post!
