60 Gallon stock list

[myconaut]

hey everyone! Just upgraded my 18 gallon to a 60 gallon. Wondering thoughts on my current stock list and possibilities of any additional fish and inverts

Currently have:
2 clowns
Green clown goby
Watchman goby
Tiger pistol shrimp
Blood red shrimp
Cleaner shrimp
Emerald crab
Bristle star

Wanted to add some stuff for the foreground more and mid tank. Was thinking of the following:

Blue chromis
Yellow clown goby
Pom Pom crab
Clam

Is this too many inverts? Too many fish? Any insight is appreciated.

I'm dosing b ionic 2 part and doing weekly water changes

Imo, your list is ok, but for foreground n midtank, i would suggest a flasher wrasse. Yellow clown is similar to green clown but more outgoing.
The pom pom are actually anemones, so your set up must be able to sustain them, if the anemones die, the crab will feel vulnerable and insecure.
Clams are a bit challenging, Im sure someone w xperience will chime in on this

I don't see any issues with the stocklist. I wouldn't worry about the pom pom crab's anemones, they are quite a hardy anemone.

Clams can be more sensitive than many corals, but as long as your lights are powerful enough and your parameters are stable, I wouldn't be overly worried.

if you want sps don't get the clown gobies they will eat the polyps

But it should be noted that it's not indescrimanate, nor is it all the sps in the tank. They don't eat them for dietary reasons, rather it is for a place to lay their eggs. So if acro growth is robust, and coloies are moderate to large it isn't much of an issue.

I'm running a kessil 360w overhead so I think that lighting should be sufficient, right? Only thing about water parameters is they were perfect and stable in my 18 gallon. Just upgraded to this 60 gallon though. Not sure if I need to worry about any swings from the extra rock and more water?

The lighting should work. Just wait a few months for everything to stabilize and balance befote adding a clam.

Tanks doing great. I have an MP40 running but in the cube it seems to be overkill Working on trading for some MP10's in the meantime
