Hello everyone. Just gonna give you a quick run down on my situation. I had a 75 gallon reef tank set up for 2 years. My tank ended up getting a leak and it got bad real quick.

I decided to down size and I ended up purchasing a 54 gallon corner tank.

The fish I had in my 75 gallon tank are being housed at my LFS that's over a hour away!

My list of fish

1-Male Lyretail Anthias
1-Female Lyretail Anthias
1-Black/White Clownfish
1-Coral Beauty

I don't think the Anthias or coral beauty would work in this small tank bc of min gallons required. I know forsure I wanna keep my clownfish. What would you do? Keep? Trade in?

Also thinking about getting a Midas blenny, mystery wrasse and flame hawk to go in this tank if I get rid of any of the above.

Also if anyone has a stock list you would use, I would love to see what u would put in this tank. Thanks David!
 
The coral beauty should be okay, though it may not be on its best behavior. I agree on dropping the anthias. Mystery wrasses can be problematically aggressive, so keep that in mind. :)

The Midas blenny should be fine. Don't know much about hawkfish.
 
I'm not 100% sure ab the coral beauty yet. I've had him for over 2 years. Just hate getting rid of fish I've had for a long time.
