Looking good. What are your stocking plans?

I'm thinking just one fish, but I am unsure what. Would like a wrasse but I know a lot of them get too big or require a sandbed. Any suggestions on what fish you would add?

Needed a lighting schedule for my cheap fixture so I picked this guy up on amazon:

Thought the battery backup might be overkill but as a bonus I can unplug it and pull it out of the cabinet to make adjustments. Not bad for $11. Total spent so far $111.

i’m familiar with three species in the trade: tanaka’s possum wrasse, white banded possum wrasse, and yellow banded possum wrasse. they are all super chill.

the example above is a tanaka.

The more I look into these the more I like them. Stays small and doesn't require sand, might be perfect!

their eyes are like chameleon eyes so it’s really fun observing them. they move like dragonets/mandarins ... hovering slowly here and there ... no darting like some fish.

... add an ornamental shrimp like the Ancylomenes genera (won’t get all that big ... just over an inch (excellent candidates for nano tanks) ... better than Lysmata IMO).

Great looking shrimp.
