So I'm currently in the painfully slow cycling phase of a new Waterbox 50.3 AIO. I have plenty of time to look around as I don't believe in quick cycles. I'll be doing a mixed reef. My current plan is:
(2) Black Ice or Snowflake Ocellaris
(1) Captive bred mandarin. (Eventually as I want an established tank with a pod population. I've got a mandarin that I've had for a long time in another tank that eats mysis, but still waited until the tank was established before adding him as well)
(1) Yasha Goby / Randall's Shrimp Pair
(1) Orchid Dotty Back
(1) Bangaii Cardinal
(1) Purple Firefish
(1) Yellow Wrasse
***I'd love to add a blue spot jawfish if you guys don't see any issues with that with my current list. Plenty of spots in the rock work for him to make a home in.
CUC will consist of emerald crab, trochus snails, nassarius snails, halloween urchin (eventually), and blue leg hermits, skunk cleaner shrimp, blood cleaner shrimp.
Anything else you guys would add to that list?
