I've been working on a new build for a while now and while there are issues that have delayed it, I'd like to look forward and get some ideas for stocking. I'll be moving over my existing livestock from my 32g biocube, and all my corals (mostly LPS and softies, but a couple montis and could add an acro or two later).

Existing stock (heavily stocked for existing, yes, I know, but they're all pretty happy and healthy):
Flame angel
Oscellaris clown (2+yrs old, still relatively small, but kind of a jerk LOL)
6 Line wrasse (surprisingly, not a a jerk)
Midas Blenny
Green Clown Goby
Red Firefish (shy, but no one really bothers him currently).
Halloween Urchin
Tuxedo Urchin
Skunk Cleaner Shrimp
Fire Shrimp
Various hermits and snails
Money Cowries
Small Conch
Strawberry Crab

The new tank is almost a lagoon tank, and the footprint is 36X24. Possible stocking options?

What ever you want? There are at least a million choices. It might be a question to say 'I want to do this' - I have 'this'. What should I not add:). Your tank sounds interesting - a picture would be cool:)

AWESOME - they are doing great (tank is totally great). Suggestion - start by adding the old stuff to the new tank - and wait a bit - maybe a month. Then - ask - but - you obviously have the 'blue thumb'. Really nice tank. Another solution - take your small tank - move it - and make a totally new one:)

Thanks! Definitely don’t plan on adding stuff right away. I do have another small tank in my son’s room - a 10g that’s only been up a few months. 2 is definitely my limit lol.
