Stocking my Biocube 32

[chris17gable]

Hello Everyone!
The past few months I have finally bit the bullet and began my saltwater journey. I’m currently in the process of cycling my tank and so far so good. The problem I’m having and hoping you guys could help me with is stocking. I’ve done tons of research and everywhere has its own recommendations. I just want to have hardy fish for my first time, that are easy to care for and can be very beneficial to my tank. I’m obviously waiting till my tanks cycle has completed, I just want to be ahead of the game, so when the time comes I can be ready. I also want to make sure I don’t put to many fish in my 32 gallon tank. What fish do you guys suggest? I know for sure I want two clown fish.
Also;
When should I add and what invertebrates would be beneficial to my tank? and what ornamental invertebrates do you guys recommend? And how many of each?
Also when is the right time to add my corals? And what ones do you guys recommend for my first time?
I’d really appreciate the help!
Thanks guys,
Chris

Two clownfish would be great. Midas Blenny’s are super cute and have a great personality. I also have a diamond back goby for sand sifting, a green chromis and a Ruby Red Fairy Wrasse in my 40g. I’d skip the wrasse in your tank, but the others all get along just fine. Good luck!

I started adding beginner corals like Zoa's and Acans at 4 months. I don't have a huge bioload. I took my time adding fish and I did my research. So far everything is thriving really well. Everyone has their own perspective. Take it slow, but most of all have fun!

That’s been the plan to just take it nice and slow. Last thing I want is to throw a whole mess of stuff I to my tank and have it collapse.
