Hey all!
I have officially built my very first soon to be reef tank and am wondering if my wish list for fish is practical, knowing I will be buying a few starters within the month! Any feedback would be greatly appreciated as I would like to keep the fish count to a minimum with more focus on corals eventually once my tank is more stable/established.
First, some tank details to provide context:
54 Gallon Corner Bow Front Tank
Dimensions: 39" x 27.25" x 23"
60lbs CaribSea Life Rock
50lbs CaribSea Fiji Pink Arag-Alive Substrate
Fluval 407 Canister Filter
Eheim Heater (150W)
2 SunSun JVP-131 Wavemakers
Hygger ATO
(Starting fishless cycle with Brightwell’s Microbacter Start XLM & QuikCycle next week!)
I do have a 20 gal QT which I will use for all fish before going into my DT. I am thinking the following for Fish, added in the following order:
1 Orange Storm Clown Fish
1 Picasso Clown Fish
1 Lawnmower Blenny
1 Royal Gramma
I WOULD actually like to also add the following, but am not sure if they are smart additions with the above 4 listed fish, hence my post!
1 Sand Sifting Goby
1 Green Mandarin Dragonet
Please let me know any thoughts or other suggestions you might have! I am very open to them and would love some further expertise! Thank you so much!
