I'm just trying to get a feel for what stocking lists can look like compared to freshwater. (I feel the need to mention I will absolutely do lots of individual fish research before adding to make sure I can adeptly meet special needs etc.)

The tank in question:
-25 gallon that will be upgraded to our 125 gallon after I switch fields (<1yr left!)
(this hobby is $$$)
- currently has a HOB refugium
- also embarrassingly has a heafty HOB filter + pumps [emoji28] (its working fine but 125g will be sumped)
- these are basic dimension tanks from petsmart (we didnt anticipate starting saltwater)


Fish we enjoy most are:
Clownfish
Gobys
Blennys
Dragonettes
Royal gramma

We have and will have corals

Current stock:
-2 small clownfish
-1 pom pom crab
-1 red skunk/cleaner shrimp
-2 emerald crabs
-2 bigger snails I can't remember what they were called [emoji28] ..black foot something? )
-4/5 snails (yikes I forgot the too .. they live in the sand... this is so embarrassing [emoji23][emoji28])
-corals

I know this isn't quite enough information to give exact stocking.. I'm just trying to get a gauge for both the current (25g) and future (125g) setups.

Thanks in advance for all help and advice [emoji1]
