Looking to add to my reef and would love some advice.
I currently have:
Perc clown
Yellow corris wrasse
Yellow watchman goby
I’d like to add:
Lawnmower blenny
Royal gramma
This is a 50g mixed reef. Ok for this tank and ok to QT together?
I have a pair of Gold Dot Clowns in a 16G Biocube. Would any other bottom dwelling fish be able to stand up to them? I know they are pretty aggressive and it is a small tank.
I didn’t really think we could do another fish, but thought better to ask. We took the advice of our LFS on the selection of the clowns. We will be building a larger tank this year hopefully to be ready next year. I guess we may need to move them?I dont think the 16g is big enough for maroons let alone more fish imho.
Maroon clowns get Large. Besides their temperament, there is also bioload and swimming space that just isn’t available in a 16g cube.

I agree with @Gareth elliott 's assessment that the maroon pr will outgrow this tank, and if you want other open water fish, bear in mind that a maroon pr can claim 50g of tank volume just for themselves.I have a pair of Gold Dot Clowns in a 16G Biocube.

Thank you muchI agree with @Gareth elliott 's assessment that the maroon pr will outgrow this tank, and if you want other open water fish, bear in mind that a maroon pr can claim 50g of tank volume just for themselves.
However, a watchman goby species will fly under their radar.

The copperband and regal are fairly delicate. Add them first and allow them to settle before adding the bolder species.Hi Guys,
I am interested in the following setup - 180 gallon (6x2x2) :
1. One Volitans or Russell's Lionfish
2. One Harlequin Tuskfish
3. One to Three Yellow Tang
4. One Copperband Butterflyfish
5. One Regal Blue Tang
6. One Regal Angelfish
7. One-Three Schooling Bannerfish
8. Coral such as LPS, Zoanthid and Goniastrea
This is what I would like, I'm looking for feedback on compatibility and stocking levels. Also, if people could suggest fish and coral that might complement the setup I would appreciate it.
Thank you!
Andrew
One more quick question, will it be possible to add an Assorted Frogfish (Antennarius sp.) to a tank like this? I know almost nothing about them, but my wife finds them.... cute.
They can also be bothered by grazers and it can be difficult to make sure they are fed in a tank with other fish.One more quick question, will it be possible to add an Assorted Frogfish (Antennarius sp.) to a tank like this? I know almost nothing about them, but my wife finds them.... cute.
Hey guys. So currently in my innovative marine nuvo 40 I have an ocellaris clownfish pair, and 3 blue green chromis. They all kind of inhabit the same areas of the tank making it look like it's not very full so I've been thinking about getting another fish.
I'm thinking about a 6 line wrasse, firefish or flame hawkfish.
Anybody think that any of these fish would be a bad fit or maybe my bioload for the tank is already maxed out?
Appreciate the insight. Currently the system keeps nitrates around 3ppm and phosphates around .025 without much effort. I try to do weekly 10% changes but even if I skip a week or two, nutrients seem to stay stable. That was one reason why I have even contemplated adding one moreMight be a lot of bioload to add more fish, if not having any nutrient issues i wouldnt see any aggression issues with a firefish, they tend to find a spot to borrow and stay within a 10” circle of that borrow, will need a lid. Skip the 6 line. Other options would be a barnacle benny or possum wrasse.
But will be dependent on how your system manages nutrients.
You should be able to handle more bioload. Of the three fish, skip the sixline. They have a tendency of becoming aggressive as they mature.Hey guys.
