Hello everyone,
I am still somewhat new to saltwater hobby, so I am looking for a few words of wisdom and perhaps personal opinions. I currently have a 110 gallon tank with approximately 140 lbs of LR with coarse crushed coral substrate. I have a 20 gallon refugium with 4" DSB and cheato algea. My lighting consists of 2-65 fluorescent 10,000k and 2-65w actinic compact bulbs with LED moonlight.
Current Livestock:
-Yellow Tang
-Black & White Chromis
-Blue Green Chromis
-Ocellaris Clownfish (2)
-Cleaner Wrasse
-Long Spine Urchin (planning to move it to the refugium once I get soft corals or bringing it back to the store)
-Sally Lightfoot (3)
-Hermits (approx. 8-10)
-Zebra Turbo Snail
-Nassarius Snail (approx. 5-7)
Want:
-Blue Mandarin
-Spotted Mandarin
-Flame Angel
-Blue Hippo Tang
-Imperator Angelfish or Koran Angelfish
-Copperband Butterflyfish (also okay with other types of butterflyfish that would work better with my setup)
-Bangaii Cardinals
-Australian Black Percula Clownfish (2)
-A goby that would work with crushed coral
-Want some reef safe wrasse
-Some sort of shrimp that will live well with corals and desired future fish
Goal:
-Have a reef tank that has soft corals. Wanting corals with a lot of color, while being hardie is most important.
Would the livestock that I want work with what I already have (excluding the urchin) and would they work well with my goal of getting into soft corals? Are their any other colorful fish that anyone would recommend that I consider?
