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.

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.
