Should i add a flame angel as my 4th and final fish?

  1. No, i wouldn't risk it with the corals.

    i think i have about 35lb of LR in the display 40lb of live sand and 2lb in the back. I removed the bioballs and replaced with lr, a hydror slim skim, and a have a 5500k bulb through the back (had to scrap off a lot of the black paint to get extra light shine in).
    my powerhead is a koralia 1050 rated for about 750gph and upgraded the stock pump to a hydror 325gph so overall i get around 40x water flow per hour. didnt like the look of two powerheads, just wanted one to get the job done, and send water through the filtration so i can get good water movement, lots of live rock for nice biological filtration

    Orange Lined Cardinal
    Pygmy Wrasses
    Tail Spot Blenny ( A favorite)
    Occy clown ( I hate mine it's meaner then Cujo)
    Firefish any of the 3
    Tangroa goby with pistol shrimp ( have had mine for 2yrs now)
    Yellowtail fang Blenny ( love mine)
    Flaming Prawn Goby ( my dream fish)
    Neon goby
    Chalk bass ( mine went carpet surfing)

    All very nice, beautiful fish. With plenty of personality!

    Also shrimp goby + pistol shrimp pair make a great addition to your nano! They are small, peaceful, and enjoyable to watch when they decide to grace you with their presence!

    Considering the corals you want to keep, I'd seriously keep the fish population down to 2 or 3 small fish. That's going to be nice!
