55- final list---opinions wanted

[drewdog82]

I have my final wish list for my 55. It currently has 60 lbs. of LS and 80-85lbs. of LR. I have a 4x54W T-5 lighting system.
Fish List:
2 Percula clowns
1-2 Neon Gobies
1 six line wrasse
1 coral beauty
1 lawnmower blenny
1 Royal Gramma
1 Banggai Cardinal
1 saddled puffer (I know I will get criticism on this one, but I already had him in my 30, which I turned into a quarantine, so I either put him in the 55 or give him back

)
Inverts:
2 cleaner shrimp
25 scarlet hermits
3 emerald crabs
40 snails--assortment
1 brittle starfish
* I am also interested in a BTA or LTA anenome, some zoos, hammer corals and mushrooms!!

Looks good except you should give the puffer back because 9 fish is a pretty big bioload and the puffers aren't exactly a clean fish, JMO though.

I would also skip on the coral beuty and go with 3 cardnials they say they do best in groups of 3

How many fish are in your set-up.....and what size tank???

46 bowfront fowlr. I have lost count of the total lbs of rock, but is similar to yours. My livestock includes:
2 false percs
foxface
firefish
toby puffer
10 hermits
2 mexican turbo snails
The puffer gets along well with all inhabitants, although he pecked at the snails a couple of times when they were added, but has since given up.
The puffer may give the shrimp a hard time.
