Finally have my 60x26x24 Tank up and cycling. This will be a LPS/softie tank. I think I’ve come up with my final stocking list, but I love to hear everyone’s thoughts and suggestions. What do you think of bioload?

2 Black Ocellaris Clowns
2 Flame Hawkfish
2 Banggai Cardinals
3 Chalk Bass
Black Cap Basslet
Midas Blenny
Diamond Goby
Exquisite Wrasse
One Spot Foxface
Mimic Tang (not sold on this one)
Whitetail Bristletooth
Purple Tang

I would take the purple off the list, they are terrors in smaller tanks. Mine tries to wreak havoc in my 8 foot 300 gallon but he is smaller than my sailfin so she keeps him in line. I think the bristletooth is a great option though. Also not sure if two flame hawks would get along. Never tried that one before. As for the mimic tang I wouldnt have more than one tang unless it was a 6 foot long tank but thats my opinion.

With the cardinals make sure to get a male and female or there will be fighting.

Otherwise the list looks good
