Hello,

I’m looking for some advice regarding my stocking list and the ideal order/timeline for getting them in the tank once it is cycled.

I have a 50.3 Waterbox and my current stocking list is:

- Pair of clownfish
- Gold Midas blenny
- long nose hawkfish (or flame?)
- possum wrasse
- Flasher wrasse (OR Royal gramma OR Tailspot blenny?)

Please let me know if this is not a compatible list or if there is an awesome fish I’m missing!

Additionally, I plan on starting slowly with the following potential corals and inverts:

- Pulsing Xenia
- Montipora cap
- Purple stylo
- GSP
- Zoas
- Miyagi tort, Cali tort, blue Oregon tort
- bonsai acro
- Acanthos coral

- Tuxedo urchin (6+ months after)
- Trochus, cerith, and nassarius snails

Any advise on the stock plan would be greatly appreciated!
 
I think it’s a solid list. Remember that if you want to have some cleaner or ornamental shrimp you may want to skip the hawk fish but if not go for it. Personally I’d throw the tailspot blenny in and not count it, they have such a low bioload and you won’t regret it.

That would be awesome! Would I need to be worried about the Midas blenny and tailspot getting along?

They will be fine together, they occupy different spaces in the water column and will ignore each other, no problem.
