Oh gosh I knew the question would come... I'm very new at this and when it comes to equipment I'm lost. It's a 45 gallon rimless macro cube with 2 maxspect gyre pumps, kessil e series tuna blue lighting, a drop in upflow algae scrubber, a fusion quiet power, and an autoaqua pump, Santa Monica drop scrubber, tunze comline skimmer.. Thank God I got all the manuals with the tank or I wouldn't have known most of that.. sad I know

Sounds great.... we’ll thought out! The best part (IMO) is the upgrade you’re gonna get when your fish start growing too big! I love upgrades! 
I know Nessie will need moved (I've been thinking about putting her in her own tank and maybe adding some in there) she's already grown quite a bit since I've got her on Christmas Eve. As for all the other fish in there, I'm not sure how much bigger they're going to getSounds great.... we’ll thought out!

The puffer will be about 4” and should be fine. The lion fish will be slightly larger. The clowns will be about 3” each. They will all fit but consider this.... you won’t want but about 1” of full grown fish for every 3-5 gallons of water. So in a 45, you can have about 9” of fish. You could do two 3” clowns and the puffer maybe. Or you could have the lion.... but.... lions can become very sly and may eat your smaller fish if given the chance. Putting the eel in her own tank is very wise. The lion could go with her. They are both predators and would get along well together. I would get the eel in her own tank quickly, depending on how big she is. She’ll grow fast. The other day, a moray belonging to a friend, ate his 6” powder blue tang!

Brandie!!! WELCOME!!!
So nice of you to start sharing right out of the gate! We love photos.
Looks like a beautiful little setup there. For relying on the product manuals only, you have done a fantastic job.
Keep up the good work.
