Hey all- I’m upgrading from 29g cube to 60g display with 90g total system volume. I plan to have a bit oversized skimmer perhaps the bubble magus 7, maybe the 5, refugium and a fleece roller. I will be transferring a pair of clowns, 2 green chromis, and a bicolor blenny. All are 1-3”

I want the upgrade to be able to have a lot more fish. I am curious what a heavily stocked system would be for my upgrade. I have several fish I’m thinking of, I have a mixed reef so SPS LPS and some mushrooms. Anyone have a similar sized set up care to share their stocking list?

This is 65g.
A blue and a yellow tang. But no blue unless he can be transferred out in about 3 years from a 1” Juvy. The yellow can stay forever in a 65. You could substitute a Copperband for the blue.
Bonded pair black occs
A longnose and a flame hawk
A Royal Gramma
A Spotted Mandy
A trio Lyretail Anthais.
