I'm in the early planning stages of a new 50g tank I inherited - currently dry. It'll have a 20g sump/refugium. Skimmer is up in the air, but I'm thinking of a Reef Octopus 110.
I have a few different potential fish groupings, but I wanted to get some opinions on one of my possible combinations, mostly to make sure I wasn't drastically overstuffing the tank or overlooking any obvious incompatibilities. Here's what I'm currently thinking of:
1) Golden Dwarf Moray - This is the one fish I'm absolutely dead-set on. I've wanted one for several years, but I haven't felt comfortable trying to put one into my BioCube.
2) 2x Ocellaris Clowns
3) Yellowhead Jawfish
4) Midas Blenny
5) Exquisite Firefish
6) Some type of fairy/flasher wrasse
7) Mandarin dragonet
So, the standard questions: Will these fish play nice with each other? Is there too much in there for a 4-foot 50-gallon tank? I'm not too concerned with the individual requirements for the fish - I've done a lot of reading on the individuals and have kept some of them in the past - but more on the interaction between fish and in making sure I'm not going to overburden the tank.
