Stocking questions 60 gallon

[james.96]

Hello, I am in the process of creating a stocking list for a 60 gallon cube tank (24”x24”x24”). The tank is planned to be a mixed LPS and SPS reef tank.

Current ideas for stocking are:
- 2 ocellaris clown fish
- 1 melanurus wrasse
- 1 flame angel

Anyfeed back or further recommendations are welcome. Share your feedback and experiences.

Thank you

Blenny of some kind! Great personality. I recently put a group of zebra bar gobies in my 70, they are super cool and swim together. Adds some really good movement to the tank. Cardnials are also good choices!

The fish you have suggested are excellent. Also don’t be afraid to look into other types of clowns if you want something more unique than ocellaris.

Royal gramma, tail spot blenny, yellow tailed damsel, diamond watchman goby.

Stick to smaller fish as the 24" maxi length of the tank does not give much swimming room, especially when you add rocks in it.
Clowns are ok, so are firefish, cardinals, royal gamma, gobies and some damsel. I am not sure about flame angel as I do not have one, but my Eibli angel uses the all tank, and it is 6' long.
