Stocking for JBJ 45 AIO

[punkieg0]

I am looking for the right balance in my tank, please let me know if I am thinking too many fish here and I should save some for another build!
JBJ 45 AIO with protein skimmer, live rock and live sand. Tank is cycled. QT is cycled and ready for the next fish. The pairs I have is the plan for adding them in.

I added 2 clownfish about a week and a half ago
The order of the pairs is what I am thinking about order to put them in as well.

Diamond Goby
Filefish (supposed to be aptasia eating but he doesn't)

Tailspot Blenny
Firefish

Fairy Wrass
2- Barnacle Blenny

Valentini Puffer
Flame Hawkfish


This would be stocked over weeks/months as they make it through QT of course. As of right now this is a fish only tank- I do not have any coral and there is not a plan for any until I get lights so that will be down the road quite a while.

Id stay with one barnacle blenny and skip the puffer.

I’m stocking the same tank right now. Just rehomed my damsels. So far my plan is one Lawnmower Blenny, one Diamond Goby, two clowns, two wrasses- flasher/fairy, maybe a coris, and risk either a flame angel down the road or a hawkfish.

All additions will be added slowly over a long period of time. Have the lawnmower blenny now and he is making quick work of my algae. Tons of personality already. I had a diamon goby but unfortunately he went missing after the first night.

I had a diamond until last week- he somehow jumped out, even with the cover on! Not sure what I will do for a sand sifter now. Opens it up for some other options. Flame hawk fish is on my list but that will be the last one in. I hear lawnmowers really go crazy on the tank!

I know the feeling. Mine went missing after the first night. I thought my screen top was goby proof but I was apparently mistaken. I plan on getting another one soon. I made some modifications to the screen top so hopefully it will be good to go.

The lawnmower blenny is loving the algae. Cleaned off a section of the back glass, half a rock, and the front of an unplugged powerhead so far. He’s becoming more active when I’m around too.

For the hawkfish- that’s my plan as well, if I choose to go that route.
