My first tank. need some general advice

[BrainFlowers]

I started my tank about months ago and has been doing pretty well so far. Its a 60 gallon curved tank I got off of fb market place for $80 which was a steal. It also came with most of the live rock and the stand which was nice. I have a 95W Aqua Star from Amazon for lighting and a canister filter for filtration. And I have 1 265gph and 2 800gph wavemakers.
My Stock list is:

• 1x Yasha Goby (1.25")
• 1x Mandarin Goby (2.25")
• 1x Yellow and Purple Wrasse (3.75")
• 1x Blue Throat Fairy Wrasse(3")
• 1x Flame Angelfish (2.75")
• 1x Flame Hawkfish (3")
• 1x Gold Headed Sleeper Goby (4")
• 1x Midas Blenny (3.75")
• 1x Talbot's Damsel (2.5")
• 1x Tomini Tang (3.5")
• 1x Sailfin Tang (4")
• 1x Female Lyretail Anthias (3.25")
• 1x Mocha Storm Clownfish Pair (M1"F2")
• 1x Cleaner Shrimp (3")
• 1x Fire Shrimp (3")​

I know I shouldn't this many fish in a 60 gallon let alone a sailfin tang in one too but I will be upgrading my tank to a 120 gallon tank in 2 months. And there isn't any aggression really except when any of them go near the damsel's hole.
Now yesterday I got a RBTA along with the Mocha Storm pair I got for trading my Frostbite pair at my LFS. When I put the the BTA in I started wondering if there is a better way to have my wavemakers pointed at than where they are now for better flow in the tank.

I am also wondering if anyone knows the best way to get this mini maxi carpet nem out of the corner. I have tried just gently trying to get my finger under its foot multiple times but has just ended in it releasing white goo and thats when I stopped trying. I would just leave it there buts its a pretty good size and has a cool color combo (its kinda hard the tell from the picture).

And finally I am wanting to know how long it usually takes for a pair of clownfish to start hosting the BTA or if it or the clownfish are too small to even start hosting.


Thank you to anyone who replies.

If you're upgrading in a few months I wouldn't do too much to this 60 gal set up. You can be establishing more rock for the switch over and be doing those "little steps" that will make the transition better for everyone.

In my experience anemones stay where they're happy. You don't really want an anemone floating/walkin' around or not finding a place to 'settle in'. Sometimes they won't stay where they're put so if flow or lighting is not to their liking don't be shocked if you find them in another spot.

There's no guarantee that clowns will host. Some will, some may never host, it really depends on the individual; especially the captive bred varieties. Sometimes you can get them already hosting from a LFS but again one you get them home they may or may not. Or, like in my case, they pick other random corals to host on like toadstools or zoo colonies..LOL. Luckily mine move around so nothing ever gets too much "attention" to do real damage.

A couple of things. Leave the nem alone, nems gonna do what they want. Seen that with tanks I’ve had. And second , that’s still a tight fit for a sail fin when they grow larger. Would’ve felt better if you’d said 180 gallons honestly. I’ve only had a tomini in a 60 then 90 myself. But I know others that keep their larger tangs in tanks like aforementioned 180 or larger. I mean it may be fine but it’ll be tight.

I see a couple other fish in your photos? Did they not make it? Your fish list is PROBABLY okay for a 120, but I agree with others that a sailfin tang is pushing it. They get pretty gigantic and love to swim. I myself have a 120, and that would've been my zebrasoma tang of choice if I had a 180 instead of a 120

I forgot to put the cleaner wrasse and the bangai cardinal in the list oops. And I was thinking about getting a 200 gallon but I know they are pretty hard to find and really expensive too. But if it gets to it i can take the sailfin back to my LFS
