10 Gallon Stocking for Reef Tank

[pal98111]

My tank is still cycling but I've been doing some research and would like to stock it with the following (over time). I do a 20% water change weekly.

Halloween Hermit
Vivid Blue Hermit
Two Snails
Royal Gramma
Pistol Shrimp
Diamond Goby

I'll add some soft corals gradually as well. Any thoughts on the list are most welcome.

the diamond goby will be too big for a 10g substrate and the gramma might be pretty territorial.

I would suggest a high fin red banded goby with the pistol shrimp.

Maybe a firefish or 6 line for an open space swimmer in a nano.

maybe more of a clean up crew? Trochus, Cerith, Nerite, and Astrea are all good workers.

as for adding more fish, perhaps adding 1 more would be okay, but that is probably it. or swapping the goby as mentioned above. a court jester goby could do good, also providing utility with cleaning up stray algae.

Thank you. What do you think about a conch?

Will the high fin red banded goby soft the sand? I think that’s so cool.

A 10g tank with rock doesnt have very much surface area for sand sifting

strawberry/tiger conch would be fine
and don’t think that specific goby sifts sand

You could do a clownfish and a pistol shrimp
