Tank is 48″ x 18″ x 24″ with a 36 gallon sump. 3" live sand bed. Currently FOWLR, but not opposed to trying some cheap, hardy corals in the future (that I wouldn't be heartbroken if someone eats or bulldozes).
Current critters and plants:
Macroalgeas in refugium (Ulva lacuta, Gracilaria parvispora, and Caulerpa lentillifera, though the Ulva and Gracilaria are outcompeting the Caulerpa)
Amphipods, copepods, and phytoplankton in refugium
3* Peppermint shrimp in refugium
2* Serpent stars in display tank
1* Tuxedo urchin in display tank
Handful of Calculus sp. hermits that came with my seeded live sand, will migrate them to the refugium when they get bigger/I add crustacean eaters in display tank.
Assorted snails (tiger conch, turbo, astraea, nassarius, cerith, trocus, nerite, litorinid) in display tank.
2* Ocellaris clowns
I'm planning to add the following and would love feedback both on compatibility and order of introduction if you see any red flags!
Assorted calciferous display macroalgeas
2* Neon gobies
1* Adorned wrasse
1* Filamented flasher wrasse
1* Forktail blenny
1* Blackcap basslet
1* Coral beauty angelfish
1* One spot foxface
1* Two spot bristletooth tang
1* Skeletor eel (or other smaller Echidna sp.)
Thanks for your time and help! This is my first marine tank and I'm already thoroughly addicted.
