Help with 25 Gallon Stocking

[BitFix]

I'm planning my first reef tank, it will be a 25 gallon biocube-like tank with an external 10 gallon sump that will hold a small skimmer, a chaetomorpha refugium and the return pump.

Although I have a basic idea of the stocking I still have some questions about compatibility and tank size. I will certainly add a pair of ocellaris clownfish and a bottom dwelling fish (probably a yellow watchman goby), what other fish I add in that tank? I was thinking one or two of the following fish:

• Azure Damselfish
• Pajama Cardinalfish
• Pseudochromis fridmani
• Royal Gramma
• Highfin molly
• Six Line Wrasse

Invertebrate-wise I was thinking about a Skunk Cleaner Shrimp, a BTA and the CUC.

I recommend not getting the sixline as they tend to be aggressive and will kill (50/50 chance) your future cleaner shrimp

I’d get the gramma and the azure.

Yeah I’ve seen a few six lines that were pretty aggressive

I think I will go with the clownfish pair, the orchid dortyback, the yellow Watchman goby and the azure damsel.
