Hi all,
My tank is up and running for approximately 3 months. First crack at salt water. 36 gallon bow front.
Orange spotted Goby- bottom left
Skunk shrimp, 6 line wrasse, two clowns, orchid dottyback- top right. Hermits and snails.
I'm thinking of adding a Royal Gramma next week. What do ye say?
If not a Royal what would be ok to add?

Thanks for the help

What size are we working with? Almost looks like a bowfront
 
how do the sixline and the dottyback get along? My only concern would be the sixline and the Royal Gramma not getting along.

I just got the 6 and dotty back on Saturday. I didn't want to rush and get another fish but I know the 6 line is going to get aggressive to new comers. My wife just had to have it. The 6 definitely has been poking around the dotty. No chasing. Just flexing his muscles. The dotty is hanging close with the clowns. I wish the dotty was a little bigger. I'm worried about adding anything else.
 
not to be a mother hen, you seam to be rushing it a bit. Are you test your water after adding fish to see spikes go up then back down B4 adding fish? These are cool and will school, three of them would stick together and only grow to 3 1/2 in.

Hi no problem. That's why I posted. I'm worried about waiting too long and the wrasse getting too comfortable. I should have waited with the 6 line.
Water has been really spot on. Tested last night. 5 gallon Water change this weekend.
I like the cardinals. Thanks
