It does sound like you have a side itch that needs to be scratched. Maybe start a new tank?

I might need a good divorce attorney for that adventure

For a refugium I'll buy a 80x40x40 35 gallon tank, 600g of macroalgae, 4.5 liters of tigger copepods 1L "normal" copepods and that should be good to populate the tank right?

Thanks though. @SaltyT ?

What can I help with?

I would like to get a dragon face pipefish and Slocke said you got one recently? I was thinking one or two in an 80 gallon but in terms of pods 1might be best

 

[Schulks]

2x Clown fish (~2")
1x yasha goby (~1.2")
1x neon Goby

What are your experiences with yours?

I have a blue stripe pipefish.

If you have enough pods you could have a pair in a 80g.

Just worried about the 4-6 yellow banded possum wrasse

You’re planning to have 4 to 6 yellow banded possum wrasses in this tank?

 

[1epauletteshark]

Yup, I have never seen or heard about anyone else doing it and they do live in groups so it would be magnificent if it works out

 

[L0L_Z]

@i cant think any problems/overstocked?

looks fine, just a few less invertsand btw,id add a larger fish as a "star" of the tank. Pipefish wont be able to compete

 

[L0L_Z]

If anyone wants to suggest anything, here are all the fish that are available in my area that might be suitable for my tank. The ones crossed off are all that I have decided unfit for the tank.
Gobies: Blue streak goby, yellow clown goby, green clown goby, black clown goby, yellow watchman goby, diamond watchman goby, orange stripe prawn goby, pinkbar goby, yasha hase goby, sleeper banded goby, two spot goby, wheeler's watchman goby, orange spotted goby.
Blennies: Pictus blenny, lawnmower blenny, bicolor blenny, black combtooth blenny, harptail blenny.
Wrasse: sixline wrasse, yellow banded possum wrasse, white banded possum wrasse, yellow coris wrasse, green wrasse, carpenter's flasher wrasse, naoko fairy wrasse.
Pipefish: Dragonface pipefish, banded pipefish.
Misc fish: Flying jet seamoth, small flying gurnard.

add a naokos! They are amazing, peaceful for the most part and are speed machines! They dart around like no ones buisness and dive pods and stuff off the floor

In terms of inverts what would you remove? I might not do the harlequin shrimp but I would really like to. As I have previously stated I don't like big fish so the yellow banded possum wrasses are the stars. It will be a big nano aquarium

you can keep all of them, just lessen their numbers

They would outcompete for pods with the other 5-7 pod eaters right? Also wouldnt it be aggressive towards the smaller possum wrasse?

 

[L0L_Z]

What would you suggest?

Half the snails, just one pistol, remove bumblebees, they are notoriously hard and will get lost in that tank

No not really. Mine picks at floating debris

 

[L0L_Z]

Also, I strongly advise against a pipefish, they are really hard to keep alive, they need a species only.
