I have to cut some of the fish since some were impulse pick-ups, or in the case of the Red Heads, an in-place pick up because my bucketlist Greenbanded gobies had no hope of stock, then came in the next week..

60g + 55g sump: 48" x 18" x 16"

Fish:
In DT
2x Ocellaris Clownfish - Amphiprion ocellaris
1x Pink-Streaked Wrasse - Pseudocheilinops ataenia
1x Gold Assessor Basslet - Assessor flavissimus
1x Midas Blenny - Ecsenius midas
1x Social Wrasse - Cirrhilabrus rubeus

In QT
1x Blue Star Leopard Wrasse - Macropharyngodon bipartitus
1x Yellow-head Jawfish - Opistognathus aurifrons
1x Royal Gramma - Gramma loreto
1x Blue Flasher Wrasse - Paracheilinus cyaneus
1x Springer's Damsel - Chrysiptera springeri
1x Neon Goby - Elacatinus oceanops
2x Red Head Goby - Elacatinus puncticulatus
1x Tailspot Blenny - Ecsenius stigmatura
1x Orange-striped Goby - Amblygobius decussatus
4x Greenbanded Goby - Tigrigobius multifasciatus

Will probably remove the bolded

Inverts:
In DT
3x Red Bubble-tip Anemone
1x Blood Red Fire Shrimp
2x Sexy Shrimp
1x White Spot Anemone Shrimp
1x Pompom Crab
4x Scarlet Hermit crab
2x Blue-Legged Hermit Crab
1x Flame Lipped Conch
~20 mixed Nassarius, Trochus and Cerith snails

In QT
2x Crocea Clam
1x Cleaner Shrimp
2x Fighting Conch
2x Emerald Crab

Tried to keep this tank as nano fish wise as possible since it started in a nano fusion 20. Some of the fish don't really move, others do, most of them are small. Going to add things in stages and see how it goes. I'm not opposed to ditching the jawfish, gramma or the social wrasse if they don't get along with others.

140 g (60" x 30" x 18")

1x female Carmel Ocellaris Clownfish (male went carpet surfing)
1x Smith's fangtooth Blenny (Awesome fish!)
1x Scopas Tang (Would have gotten a Kole or Tomini, but this was what the LFS had)
1x Orange Spotted Rabbitfish (Love this thing!)
1x female Spot Breasted Angelfish (genicanthus sp. An under-appreciated family of angels, IMHO)
1x Bi-color Goatfish (Great sand surface stirrer, eats flatworms, bristle worms, and other small pests)
4x large Pajama Cardinals (wanted a school of cardinals of some sort, LFS had these traded, in, I paid $20 for all 4. Fat and healthy)
2x Tiger Sand Conch (Never tried them before, I've always had Fighting conchs. So far, I like them)
A very few hermits. The few I have were mis-shipped to me, or I wouldn't have them.
Various Nasarius, Cerith, Nerite, Astrea, Spiney Astrea snails. Not a lot of them, between 3 and 10 of each.

Never been a fan of buying huge 'clean up crew' packages and watching most of them die. I buy a few at a time, as needed, to address specific needs.

I hope to add a couple Emerald crabs on Saturday, thrown 'em in my sump. They're great at keeping deposits from building up.

Original 40 breeder:
Pajama Cardinal x2
Mated pair / blk/white Ocellaris Clownfish
Lawnmower blenny
Coral Beauty
Azure Damsel

Recently upgraded to 210 gallon (cycle complete March 3rd) moved 40 breeder into 210 on April 15th (54" W x 30" H x 30" D) - moved, then added:
lyretail anthias x4
Lieutenant Tang

I needed a splash of color and movement - Lyretails do that. Needed algae consumer besides the blenny - Tang solves that. Noting else until the rocks and corals mature more. Wish list after I set up a proper QT tank: 2x Regal Angel and 3x Millesteed Butterfly. Damsels to finish (Talbots and Azures).

That's probably the best way to add a CUC in my opinion. Only add when it's needed. Wish I knew that before I started my tank!

Likewise. Plus my dusky wrasse mostly would just eat them.

Yeah, it's probably too many, trying to keep my head down for the fish police ;) That said, like 10 of those are 2.5" or under, and the gobies are tiny except for the orange stripe. Zero worries about bio load, just about space at this point. Kind of hoping the BSL doesn't eventually transition solely for keeping the female colours, it's currently 2" long. It and the Midas would be the only "larger" fish in there when grown. The clowns are kind of stunted, they haven't gained any noticeable growth in like a year.
