Miracles Rimless 60x24x18 high. I have a good sized fuge (Triton method) so the large number of fish help keep the nutrient levels up in the DT. Corals love all the poop too! Ha!

Everyone play nicely? I’ve always wanted to add more fish, but I worry about aggression.

Yes, they all get along well. Tangs were obviously the toughest as I didn't add them all at once. Started with the Blond Naso and a Purple which did well together but the Purple wouldn't let me add any other tangs so I had to give him back to the LFS. Got the Powder and Regal at the same time and had no issues with the Naso. When I added the yellow, the powder hated him so I had to use an acclimation box for a day. Released the yellow and now he runs the tank. :)

That’s awesome. I have a regal blue tang in my tank. I won’t be able to keep it long term, but I found it for sale on Craigslist from a guy who had it in a 30 gallon tank for two years. Just felt bad for the little fella :oops:

Thanks. Yeah, I have a bunch of corals so sadly, Angels are out of the question. I used to have a flame angel in a past tank but he would nip at the corals occasionally limiting their polyp extension during the day.
I totally get it....I have all Wrasses, except a captive bred Singapore Angel, and a Midas Blenny.....I hope the Angel doesn't get a taste for my corals.... LOL....

So I had previously posted my rather large list for my 60g. Due to some velvet in QT losses, and two deaths in the DT (age??) that's been trimmed back down:

2x Ocellaris Clownfish - Amphiprion ocellaris
1x Gold Assessor Basslet - Assessor flavissimus
1x Midas Blenny - Ecsenius midas
1x Social Wrasse - Cirrhilabrus rubeus
1x Blue Star Leopard Wrasse - Macropharyngodon bipartitus
1x Blue Flasher Wrasse - Paracheilinus cyaneus
1x Springer's Damsel - Chrysiptera springeri
1x Red Head Goby - Elacatinus puncticulatus
3x Greenbanded Goby - Tigrigobius multifasciatus

That still lists like a lot of fish, but half the list are nano sized guys that will be living in a nice chunk of artificial ocean. The greenbanded gobies are barely an inch long, so tiny.

I'm thinking of removing the social wrasse if he becomes a problem with the others in the tank, and picking up an exquisite fairy (Cirrhilabrus exquisitus). Also set on adding a royal gramma and tailspot blenny back into the picture, more small fish. Again, not at all worried about bio-load, my can export a ton of nutrients when required. I actually have a lack of them (NO3) right now.

So that just leaves a hole or two, possibly to go back with another yellowhead jawfish, or some form of bonded shrimp goby. A firefish like the helfrichi is also appealing..

Always decisions, decisions..
