    I was thinking along the lines of a flame hawkfish, fire fish and some sort of goby as well.

    I think that your filtration will depend on how far down you get on your list. Right now I don't run a protein skimmer, but I do plan on changing that this month lol.

    You have a good list though, ty

    That is good to know. I will really have to consider that option.

    I'm thinking about getting a yellow tang. I know that they shouldn't be placed in a tank smaller then 55 gallons, but would it be alright if I got a smaller one and relocated it to a bigger tank when it gets bigger?

    can it be done, yes. would i recommend it, no. even at a small size they still like their swimming space. also by cramping the fish you will stress it out and make it more prone to sickness which tangs are already prone to ick. also good intentions dont always wind up going through

    id say everything on there would probably be fine in a tank that size assuming you have good filtration minus the wrasses....the wrasses will probably be cramped in there when grown to full size

    I appreciate the good advice and honesty. I will leave the tang out of the list now.
