aaron186 Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Im sure people are sick of these threads but I could use some help. I am in the process of upgrading from a basic 10g setup to a more advanced 40B setup that I hope to do an SPS dominant reef and a clam and anemone. So far my tank is cycled and I have transferred over my 2 small o. clowns and 1 yellow watchman goby as well as 10 astrea snails that i just purchased. I could use some help with stocking suggestions. Equipment: 40B aqueon petco tank drilled with a 20H diy baffled 3 section sump with 1 filter sock 30lb reef cleaner dry rock and caribsea fiji pink Maxspect Razor 16k Maxspect gyre 130 Bubble Magus Curve 5 skimmer BRS dual reactor with gfo and carbon Fuge with miracle mud and caulerpa lit 24/7 Tunze osmolator Jaebo dct 4000 return pump My proposed fish are the following: 2 o clowns (already in tank) 1 yellow watchman goby (already in tank) - six line wrasse - tailspot blenny - jawfish (will i need lid?) - royal gramma - cardinal (i am plus or minus on this one) is 8 fish too many? any suggestions on other things to consider? Will these all be compatible? Thanks so much for your help! Link to comment
Tmr8188 Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 I would add the 6 line last. Also there are reports of tailspots nipping at sps and clams. Link to comment

Food soaked in Selcon seems to fix that issue. Lids are a must for jawfish. I have a friend who lost hers to the floor. Nick Link to comment
rfalk Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 I'd say get a fairy wrasse over the 6line...long term they get very aggressive in a tank that small Link to comment
Hammerstone Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 I believe in lids to prevent carpet surfing ? Link to comment

mystersyster Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 I'd say get a fairy wrasse over the 6line...long term they get very aggressive in a tank that small I agree. Too many horror stories with six line (even though I think they're awesome looking). I went with a Melanurus wrasse in my 40b. He is a modeled citizen. They eat lots of pests too. Link to comment
