How would YOU stock a 29gal

[db9181]

Alright I know everyone has their own preference (reef safe) with stocking/fish/etc so I wanted to get some personal opinions as if this was YOUR tank
Specs:
29gal standard -cycled running approx 7weeks
-HOB fuge: holds abother 4gal SW will have chaeto and LR
-coralife 130w HO
-aquaticlife 115 mini-skimmer
-fluval heater
-fluval 305 canister
-40lb LS / 30lb LR
Currently just snails and 2 hermits.... B/W & O/W clowns will move into DT this week from QT.
If this was YOUR tank, how would YOU stock?

I would probably do:
2 Ocellaris designer clowns such as Snowflakes (because the regular ones are just starting to bore me)
1 Bi Color Blenny
1 Flasher or Fairy Wrasse OR a Purple Firefish OR a Fridmani Dottyback/Pseudochromis
1 Yellow Candy Hogfish (I'm in love with mine, it's my new favorite fish)

Mind if I move this to "New Hobbyists"? It will probably get more hits there, the Nano forum is dead lately.

That's fine thought I get hits/stocking tips from those with a similar size tanks but go ahead and switch it

Hi, I dont have that size tank, but if it were mine, I would do something like this
2 clowns
pair banggi or pj cardinals
bi-color blenny
or
2 clowns
bi-color or tail spot blenny
clown goby
royal gramma
or
2 clowns
royal gramma
clown goby
something along those lines

I have a standard 29G...In it I have 1 oscellaris Clown, 1 Scooter blennie, 2 candy striped cardinals, 1 zebra goby
I feel like I am forgetting someone...LOL....I did have 2 clowns, but one committed carpet suicide

In my 29G I've got 2 clowns, a yellow tail damsel, and a valentini puffer. I used to have a royal gramma and I loved it. But one day outta nowhere he was a floater

I always wondered who the heck came up with that name...seems like a marketing ploy. I also noticed that that site uses an invalid binomial name for the fish: Hypodytes rubripinnis. The accepted/valid name is Paracentropogon rubripinnis. At any rate, a pair of red fin waspfish would be a nice choice. Maybe a pair of redfins and a cockatoo waspfish...
A fu manchu lion would also be a good fish for a 29, as would a fuzzy dwarf lion.
