Hello everyone,
I am now at a point where my tank is cycled and I am thinking about my stocking options. I have bad one 15g mixed reef, before, and was successful with the standard clownish setup. I had a couple of springers damsels in there also and it was pretty cool.
I had to ditch the tank due to life and a move. I now have finished cycling my 25g lagoon and am struggling with stalking ideas. I really dont want another clown fish and was thinking about maybe doing geometric pygmy hawkfish with a pistol shrimp/goby pair. What would be a good "main" fish option though for that swim space. I would love a dwarf angel, but I am 99% positive the lagoon footprint is still too small for any.

What would you stock a 25g lagoon with?
