Stocking my IM 25 lagoon

[Austin Lee]

Hi Everyone!

I am working on stocking my IM 25 lagoon and would love your input! Tank details below:

Goals: LPS/SPS mixed reef tank. High bio load.
Current Livestock: 2 clowns, 10 blue leg hermits, emerald crab, 3 snails, sand sifting sea star (not sure of the name). No corals right now.

I'd like to add a few more fish to this tank before it's "maxed out". I was thinking a coral beauty, but not all of those are reef safe. I'd like a six line wrasse as well. I like colorful and unique fish, but also fish that serve a purpose. Any suggestions?

Too small for any angels (angels are 50/50 with coral) and 6 lines get too aggressive. Look at blennys

I’ve got a Pygmy wrasse and a blue star leopard in mine. Hard to get multipurpose fish in it. I was thinking about a small tang but couldn’t find anyone who would take it when it grew a bit.

I had some big clowns for awhile. They beat up any fish I added after awhile. Killed a wrasse I put in.
