Okay so I think this is my final version of the stocking list but I just have some questions towards the angel maybe being aggressive and what should I add first and when I should add all of the fish to the tank or if you would change anything

Thus list is for a 40g

Also I much prefer a single clown. They are much sweeter. Also more diverse and abundant snails and crabs. I'd get everything in but the clowns and Angel. Wait a couple months , Get all 3 small and throw them in.

Reefcleaners.org pick some stuff. I love Mexican turbos. But honestly. Whenever I go to the lfs I just get a couple. It builds overtime. Diversity and size of clean up crew is under estimated

Do you have any recommendations for clean up crew for my 40g I was thinking

🧹 CLEANUP CREW
* 4× Trochus Snails
* 3× Nassarius Snails
* 2× Cerith Snails

But I don’t know if that’s to much or too little and I might want some more interesting options

6 line wrasses are jerks, skip it. And honestly just ouch some stuff. Mexican turbos are excellent and my favorite. A good conch is Amazing to have around. Just random ones you see. The ones listed are the go to for fish stores cause they are easily available and proven. 40 gallon id honestly work up to 40 critters ( a lot being small , blue legs hermits are a good choice). It's not like you buy 6 things and you're good. Snails and crabs get stuck, sick, eat each other. You can't treat it like a stocking list. Just get some each time you go to the pet store.
