    mandarin and wrasse aren't really compatible(atleast in that size tank) since the wrasse will eat a huge portion of the pods.

    Clown gobys will pick at sps.

    I thought I was too but my dad all of a sudden is letting me set up this tank. I already got the skimmer, powerheads, refractometer, heater, light, and the rock and sand are coming soon.

    ahaha no no, Those were all ideas on what I would do when I got the tank. I was simply planning out what I would do and making sure everything worked. My parents kept changing their mind so I posted multiple threads.

    o ok so i can edit my answer a little lol. definitely do a mandarin, i'd recommend black and white ocellaris clown pair, goby/pistol shrimp pair, and maybe a royal gramma if you'd like, althought i think there a little agressive.
