    It has been 1 year since I started my first Reef. 46 gallon bow. My first picks where easy. A pair of False percs. After that it has been like looking for hoffas body trying to figure out what other fish to add. When I first got into this hobby, I had no idea how many restrictions there where on fish R.Com. after my two percs I purchased a LMower Blenny then a coral Beauty,at the time I didnt no how but the Blenny jumped out. So I got another one which also vanished. So then I got a wheelers Goby who died from a rock collapse. Then I got a royal Gramma who I found on the carpet. I end up moving and found the body of my first blenny. Well my Coral beauty died about a month ago. I decided not to purchase another Dwarf Angel becuase of the nipping issues. I purchased a spotted Goby. I finished off my top so I should have no more issues with fish jumping. Well now Im back to where I started with my 2 percs and a Goby. What to get?? I really like Anthias but I was told I would need them in groups, and I would definatly not mind that if it is possible. Could I get a male and two female anthias along with another fish such as a reef safe wrasse/ or is that pushing the limits? (I do not have a skimmer)

    I wouldnt say that many fish are pushing the limits. But it would stock it up IMO.

    and i would definitely invest in a skimmer IMHO.
