So, I'm starting to think about what fish I want, end game. I plan on taking my time stocking, but I also like having A Plan.

Once it's all here and set up, I'll have a WaterBox Marine 70.3 (43.8g display, with 22g sump, 68.7g total), running a Curve 5 Elite skimmer, fuge with chaeto and biomedia. I eventually want some of the easier corals, probably not stony.

Fishwise, I was thinking about this group:
Bonded pair of clowns (I like the Black Ice and similar ones).
Black Axil Chromis (I wish I could have a little school of these, but it seems they fight each other?).
Starry Blenny.
Kaudern's or Pajama Cardinalfish.
Blue Sapphire Damselfish.
Orchid Dottyback.
Yellow Watchman Goby.
Carpenter's Flasher Wrasse.

Any "oh ****, no way will those two work together" pairs here?

Any suggestions for introduction order, and timing. I realize with a new dry rock cycled tank it's gonna take a while to build up.

Thanks for your thoughts!

Sounds like a great, well rounded tank!
