My 180g display has been up for just under a year and this is what I’m thinking to round out my stocking list:

In Tank - currently
  • Cleaner shrimp - hermit crabs and snails assorted.
  • Clown pair
  • Damsels - Azure & Springeri
  • Bristletooth tang
  • Sailfin tang
  • Foxface
  • Yellow coris wrasse
  • Mandarin - green spotted
In QT at the Shop
  • Purple fire fish
  • 5x Green Chromis
  • Naoko wrasse
  • Supermale filament flasher wrasse
  • Blue cleaner wrasse
  • Blood shrimp
For Later
  • Yellow watchman goby & pistol shrimp
  • Red Spotted blenny
  • Powder Blue tang
  • Dwarf Angel - Coral Beauty
INVERTS - for later
  • Porcelain crab - blue
  • Nassarius snails
  • Conch
  • Sea cucumber
I’m doing automated water changes about 3%/week, have a nice big sump with macro algae growing and a brand new reef octopus’s skimmer. I know it’s a bit of a heavy list. That’s 22 fish with 4-5 “big” fish.

Anyone see an issue if I have heavy nutrient export? I could reduce the number of chromis but I do plan on feeding multiple times a day and lots of habitat and hiding places for them.
 
Rock work and free space dictate the amount of fish more than your export. Need room for larger fish to swim and enough rocks and caves for all of them to have a home of their own to sleep in.
 
I have a lot of rock work with small opening and caves and a fair amount of open space. Should be good to go.
