Is this stocking okay for a 55 gal? I could possibly move up to a 75 gal too. 2 percula or skunk clownfish, 1 azure damsel, 1 royal gramma, 1 emerald crab, 1 porcelain crab, 1 firefish goby, 1 pistol shrimp, 1 watchman goby, 1 yellow clown goby, 3 peppermint shrimp, 1 flasher wrasse or fairy wrasse, some snails and some hermit crabs. Any and all advice is appreciated, I’ve never done saltwater before, but I have 5 freshwater tanks.

Welcome to R2R. I would go with a 75g and cycle the tank first unless youre using live rock. You dont need the pepermint shrimp, those are for when you have aptasia infestation on the tank. You can get a cleaner shrimp, better to clean the fishes.
 

DO YOU THINK TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENTS ARE MORE HELPFUL OR HURTFUL TO REEFING?
