90G reef
1-watchman
1- dotyback
1-mandarin

30G (because their 120G needs patching)
The 5 jerks of the apocalypse
(Mated clowns, lemon damsel, 2 striped damsels, and the ghosts of every tankmate they've bullied)

Honestly, the dotyback may make the jump to the jerks....

E170 (45G)
Banggai cardinal, firefish, orange spot goby, lawnmower blenny, two neon gobies, two yellow banded possum wrasses, copperbanded butterfly fish, two mandarin dragonets, two ruby red dragonets, manyline basslet, hector's goby

15 fish

If you get fish with different enough behaviors/habitats and can meet their dietary needs, higher density seems to work reasonably. Almost no aggression, even, though a couple of the pairs needed some introduction time before that was the case.
What's the diet for the hectors goby. I wanted to get a group for a 23g species tank but many shops wrote they were finicky eater and I got scared they would starve.

Nothing that I feed! I've had a few over the last few years because they're cute little grazers and they really don't get bothered by others much (even conspecific aggression is the most chill aggression I've seen in fish). Mine eat some hair algae on things, but spend a good bit of their time sifting sand. They have small mouths, though, so they really don't move the sand around much.

Absolutely no feeding response when feeding any kind of frozen, pellet, or particulate food that I've tried, but they also barely even react to me being there, they just keep doing their thing.
