Hi all,

I have been working on a mixed reef Waterbox Marine X 60.2 (24" x 20" x 20" display tank). For filtration, I currently have a reefmat 500 and bio media. Still deciding between a refugium and skimmer. Would love to hear thoughts on my stocking plan:

Oscellaris x2
Yasha Goby + Randall shrimp
Melanurus Wrasse
Biota Mandarin Goby (plan to also build up pods over the next year before adding)
Captive bred coral beauty (understanding these can be hit or miss with coral)

It feels like this is a good mix of fish for different regions of the tank, would love any feedback!

In reading some threads, it seems like I could possibly also fit a pearly jawfish though I suspect that would be stretching the bioload/space for my tank?

Awesome thanks so much! I think the cardinals would have to be in place of one of the others from a bio load perspective?
