After having multiple freshwater tanks in the last years, I decided to take the next step and start a reef tank and join this community.
Having researched all individual fish, it seems to me that they are compatible, but I would appreciate your insight.
Taking all necessary steps regarding set-up and cycling, I am considering the following for a 80 gallon tank with sand substrate and live rock:
Start after fully cycled tank (first six months):
Engineer Goby x1
Clownfish x2
Hermit crabs x2
Blue green chromis small school
Dragon tongue algae
Additions after (six months+)
Cowfish x1 (Removed)
Copper banded butterfly x1 (Removed)
Mandarin fish x1
Torch coral
Sand sifting starfish
Foxface rabbitfish x1
Optional addition after 1 year:
Pinnatus batfish x1 (Removed)
Sea urchin x1
Once again, appreciate any advice on this list or alternatives.
