So I am currently moving to Florida and I am using the move to be able to upgrade my 20 gallon to a 60 gallon breeder. (Wish i could go bigger but its going in my college apartment)

The current tank is a 20 gallon long with an Engineer Goby, 2 Ocellaris Clowns, and a large colony of Waving hand xenia.

I am upgrading to the following:

Tank: 60 Gallon Breeder
Sump: 20 Gallon long
Lights: 2x Orbit Marine Led 36" (https://current-usa.com/products/orbit-marine-led-light-with-loop-app-control-36-to-48-inch)
Rock: 50lbs live rock (+whatever is in current tank)
Sand: Dry Aragonite 44lbs
Fuge: Starting with golf ball size of Chaetomorpha (Looking to add Marinepure blocks at some point) (Also have a Mangrove growing in a brackish tank I might add)
Protien Skimmer: Amazon $50 one thats for 60 gallons (Will upgrade eventualy)
Wave Maker: 2k Gyre Flow pump with Wave Engine
Pump: Icecap EVO 2000
Control: Hydros X3 with temperature and pH

I probably forgot something from that list but just ask.


But what would yall recommend to stock? (I want to keep the Engineer Goby, Xenia, and Clowns)
What other corals would you recomend? trying find something easy to keep and faster growing. I was looking at isolating a GSP colony on one side.
Anything I should consider upgrading or doing different?
