Stocking a BioCube 32 - thoughts on my list so far?

hds4216 · Jul 9, 2020

List so far:

Fish:

One or two Ocellaris Clownfish
One Royal Gramma
One Fire Fish
One Yellow Watchman Goby
One Tailspot Blenny

Willing to lose one or two fish if necessary, for example, I can cut back to only one Clown and/or lose the Blenny.

Motile Inverts:

One Tuxedo Urchin
One Skunk Cleaner Shrimp
One Pistol Shrimp, either Tiger or Randall’s
Multiple snails, maybe Cerith, Nassarius, Turbo
A few (2-5) Scarlet Hermits
Maybe a Fighting/Tiger conch? They look cool but I'm not sure if I have the space/if it's compatible.

I really like the idea of an urchin and a goby/shrimp pair, though I'd only add the urchin after the tank matures. The hermits and the conch are potentially expendable if they don't work/there's no room though.

Corals:
Just ideas at the moment, nothing is concrete.

Some hardy, fast-growing soft corals, maybe Clove Polyp or GSP. Will be isolated to prevent rampant growth.
Some colorful Zoas
Some Acans
Some Euphylia, preferably the branching variety
Some Duncan corals
A Ricordia
Some mushrooms

I recognize that there's a lot of stuff on this list and I plan on moving slowly and seeing how additions work before adding anything else. No going crazy from me! Does anyone have any ideas or thoughts to improve my list?

Don’t lose tail spot. They r clowns. Great fish! I also have a conch in my biocube. Great cuc member if u ask me. They stir the sand and are really cool. I have a pistol shrimp and regret that because he shoots sand on everything. Make sure u put the rocks on the bare bottom before sand so he doesn’t create an avalanche

I think you could go for all of those, I would say 2 clowns are a must.

I would think when you add the tailspot tho, it’s the only herbivore, some find them hard to feed.

I have a biocube 32 as well our list are similar. I have 2 clowns, 1 indigo dotty back, 1 cardinal, and 1 lawnmower blenny! Everyone gets along well and the tank can handle it! I am soon going to add a firefish!

I have a pair of clowns, a Midas blenny, and a green Mandarin with several corals. Three large Turbo snails, a strawberry crab, a porcelain crab, and a fire shrimp.
