    Hi everyone,
    I had some issues in my tank where I had a mass of phosphates and then algae and then dead fish to the point where I don't have any any longer. I think I've got things cleaned up now. Algae seems to be under control (not gone, but under control), and water parameters seem good and back to what they should be for everything. So, I think I'm ready to get some fish in there again and get my tank back...
    So, here is what I think I would like to stock my tank with (over some time of course) - what do you all think (would they live well together? Is it too much? etc.):
    a pair of either Ocellaris or Percula clownfish
    a pair of firefish gobies
    a pair Bengaii Cardinal fish
    a single Royal Gramma
    Possibly a single Coral Beauty Angel

    Let me know if you think this combination would work and if not what might work better.

    Thanks!!

    Right, duh... 55 gallon tank and I currently have live rock, and a branching leather and a hammer coral. Several snails and crabs as well.
