Stocking question

[Rocket]

Ladies and Gents I just wanted to get some feedback on potential stock list for my 60 cube... I plan on adding a refugium (tank still dry!) to the tank so not sure of total water volume ATM but my current fish wish list is;

Clown pair
fairy wrasse
lawnmower blenny
flame angel
goby/shrimp pair or flame hawk (not sure on either)
misc clean up crew

Is this considered overstocked? I plan on getting the fish as small as I can to watch them grow and mature with my reef. Look forward to feedback!

Your fine with that. If I were you I would add a few different wrasse or even some anthias.

I def would like to have anthias but read they need to be fed 3x a day because of their level of activity... I will be considering that suggestion though, thanks!

Get them trained onto pellets or flakes and use an auto feeder. Eventually they'll adjust to either (my understanding is pellets don't foul up water as much as frozen or flakes)

I'd go w/ another wrasse or two. Anthias are schooling fish & even then, in smaller tanks they'll usually pick off the weak ones & you'll end up w/ only one.

Got a pair in my tank and only feed them once a day. They look pretty healthy and are active as usual. Thats just me though, but they do all nice color to your tank.

Go with the Pistol Shrimp Goby pair, I have one and watching them come out at night prowling is awesome! You can also feed any pest inverts to the pistol shrimp.

I feed my barletts ' s once a day and they are doing great. I have four in my 66. I haven't seen too much aggressive behavior. I think having a larger dominant fish, like a tang keeps them distracted and grouped together.

I just picked up a candy cane pistol and yasha goby pair a few days ago, haven't seen them since. I think they dug in on the back of my rockwork. Something to keep in mind, they can get lost easily in 60 gallons. I had a pair in my first tank, an 8 gal and they were my favorite thing to watch.
If you are going to go with the pistol/goby be sure to set you live rock onthe bottom glass to avoid rocks falling

Only thing i can add different to this thread is introduction order. I would suggest the clowns and lastly the flame angel being added so that there is little to no aggression or territorial disputes. But like everyone else, i agree that your list isnt overstocked at all and even adding another wrasse or anthias should be no problem. Nice stock list btw.
