My First Reef Update.

[Bixby'sMenagerie]

Hello once more fishy peoples, after a few months of waiting i finally have the beginnings of a saltwater reef. Ive got my first 2 rounds of stocking in, and was putting thought into what else should go in here. It is a 140g system 4x2x2 display. At the moment we have;

Pair of ocellaris clowns
2 spot blenny
Tail spot blenny
Bicolor blenny
Hi fin goby(false dracula) w/randalls shrimp
Buncha soft corals.
120ish lbs rock
4 trochus snails
2 nassarius snails
1 tux urchin
1 fire and 1 skunk shrimp
7 rfa and 1 mini carpet anemone. (Didn't intend to get this but 1 got mixed in with the rfas.)
Some free cuc with the rock.( feather dusters, asterinas, bristleworms)
A full grown diamond watchman. Did not intend to get this one but a local guy had a tank bust right after mine cycled so I took basically all his rock and coral, goby was the only smallish fish he had but he did luckily find homes for them. Looks really underweight so ive been basting the sand near his hideout with rods food. Seems to be filling out now but kinda early to tell.

So apologies for the text wall but what else would you put in here? Not looking for anything agressive or reef safe w/ caution. Also nothing like a cuke that could nuke my tank, I am a newer hobbyist. I am not much for tangs (most are too big for this tank, and i dont plan on upgrading for 5+ years) but might put a tomini or a kole in here for main algea duty and as a centerpiece fish. Other than that I am wide open to suggestions!

Get a build thread up and going for this beauty! I am all about the softies in this system! Like your fish stock list as well that you went with!

Build thread would be fun to follow along with and keep updated as the system grows and matures!

Maybe a fox face as hear there also good cuc for algae control and maybe a dwarf angel fish some say add with caution as may nip corals but the coral beauty seems to be most recommended/ safe dwarf angel fish that safe with corals and they beautiful looking fish also.
Maybe some kind of wrasse as they very active and some say help with pest control eating certain pests.but your tank looking great so far so well done and keep up the good work ^_^
