Stocking list for 24 gal

[connor g]

So I am thinking of my stocking list for the 24 gal nano reef, I want lots of colores and variety, hew is what I am thinking:
1 clarki clown
1 gambaii cardinal
1 coral beauty angle
1 orchid dotty back
CUC:
10-12 Mexican turbo snails
10-12 hermit crabs
1 cleaner shrimp
Corals:
Zoanthids
Mushrooms
Frogspawn
Xenia
What do you guys think? I really love the coral beauty and the frogspawn!

The only potential issue I see is the Clarkii. They get fairly large, and a 24g might be too small for them in the long run.

Will the coral beauty nip at corrals?

 

[btldreef]

In my experience, a well fed Coral Beauty, with good established live rock to graze from, will not nip. They're considered the safest of the dwarf angels. Mine has never touched a coral. It doesn't even go after my clam.

Would a 55 watt bulb be ok to grow those corals?

 

[btldreef]

I don't think a 55 PC would work, at least not for the frogspawn.

I have some cool neon orange zoanthids and they glow under certain lights, I'm pretty sure they glow under LEDs. Is there any way I would be able to have LEDs as my main light source in the tank? How many would I need?

 

[smallreef]

you could totally do a rapid LED upgrade and keep some different sps and lps like frogspawn...

 

[connor g]

What kind of LEDs would I need? Should I buy a whole new fixture of them or just strips of them?
