I have a Waterbox 105.4 and currently have a tomini tang, mostly grown engineer goby, 4 carberryi anthias, a Valentini puffer (model citizen), black leopard wrasse, starry blenny, Blue Sided fairy wrasse. I did plan on adding a mandarin but was also considering one reef safe butterfly or angelfish; I’m mostly finished with stocking just wanted some ideas regarding other fish or if I should call it with my current crew. I have one cleaner shrimp and asst hermits and snails and some lps and leathers.
 
You still have room for a lot more fish if you want.

Copperband butterly if eating and perhaps dwarf angel such as Flame or coral beauty and with this being a 72 gallon tank, I would NOT throw a bunch more fish in
 
Hard/impossible to give good stocking advice without seeing the tank design and knowing something about how it's run, but I can't imagine really any tank setup of this size where I'd add more fish.
 
A little more context; I have a slightly overkill bubble magnus skimmer if I’m not mistaken, 3-4 inch sand bed, Chaeto refugium and the tank dimensions are 47.2" x 23.6" x 16.1

Not too much rock work but I do plan on adding some bc after some rockscaping after an ich fallow period I think it’s a bit too lacking in taller structures.

I’m also not considering foxfaces or any larger fish. The tominis the biggest fish I plan on keeping next to the engineer goby. Smaller angels/dwarfs I’ve considered but it’s a pain to qt them in copper.

  • I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!

  • I haven’t really considered this before
