What i have

4 firefish
2 pj cardinal
2 clownfish
1 tomini tang
1 orange stripe goby

What i still want to add

1 midas blenny
1 flasher wrasse
1 manderin dragonet
1 dwarf angel maybe coral beauty

That rounds out my stocking wants.

Tank is 36x18x18.
Sump is diy 30breeder with refugium
Large rorps3000ext protein skimmer
1/2 hp chiller.

I will be upgrading to a 65 or maybe a 4ft 120gal. Not sure yet.

Please lots of input
 
Too many, solely based on the clowns and tangs.
They're dirty fish imo
 
Thats what i heard. Its kinda why i have a superduper skimmer. Lol
 
What i have

4 firefish -I'm not sure 4 firefish will work out someone more experience will have to figure that one out. Add first
2 pj cardinal-ok add third
2 clownfish-ok add fourth
1 tomini tang-no it creates to much waste an the tank is too small
1 orange stripe goby-ok add second

What i still want to add

1 midas blenny-ok add sixth
1 flasher wrasse-ok add seventh
1 manderin dragonet-make sure the tank is mature and has lots of pods
1 dwarf angel maybe coral beauty-might add to much bioload add last

Two of the firefish will pr up and kill the others.

A tomini will outgrow a 50.

When i got them i had thought that but the firefish are all doing really well. They have been in there for almost 8 mnths. All of them are healthy and loving life. The tomini is still small and hopefully ill be able to upgrade to a 95 gal 36x24x25 this year. Thanks for the info.
