Looking for stocking suggestions for a 72 bowfront reef (with 20 gallon sump/fuge). Here's what I'm thinking so far...
Yellow watchman goby (he's already in the tank)
coral beauty
jawfish
bicolor blenny
gold stripe maroon clown
yellow or kole tang
That's probably pretty close to the limit I guess. I was wondering if I could put in a neon goby or a clown goby with this group too.
I'm also setting up an 80 gallon FOWLR soon. I have two fish to transfer to it already, but here's some others I was thinking about.
oscellaris clown (already have it)
purple psuedochromis (already have it)
engineer goby
some sort of anthias (not sure which would be best yet or if it would work with this, suggestions?) or kole/yellow tang instead.
I know the engineer goby gets kinda big, but stays pretty skinny so I'm not sure how to figure in his contribution to waste. Please let me know your suggestions or if I should swap one fish for another or remove a fish altogether, etc. Thanks!

They both sound pretty good to me. By personal preference I would change the CB to a flame angel and perhaps find a way to put either a lunare, sunset, or my favorite five stripe AKA pinkface wrasse into your FOWLR, but that's just me. Looks good.

That's a good idea on the wrasse I think. I think the lunar looks really good. I've never seen the others you mentioned so I'll have to look 'em up.
