ooh and for inverts maybe consider a pom pom crab? i know people lose them in bigger tanks since they are shy but i have 1 in my 55g and i see him every couple of days hiding in the rocks and man is he ever COOL

I already have the nano list bookmarked, thanks tho. and what i am really looking for is a fish that will not outgrow the tank but is still fairly large. thus the list doesnt work.

i already have a tank devoted to pompoms and sexy shrimp. with a goby or 2. well when they stay in the tank long enough to count. my former 10g contest tank is still kicking around. currently still 2 pompoms (pair) 3 sexy shrimp down to 1 purple fire fish, and 1 pink lined wrasse.

ok so i am looking for some fish to go with my 2 true perks (to be removed upon cube setup ) in a 48" 45 Gallon tank here are some fish i may be interested in.

Just looking for stocking options and some veto power on what others feel should not be in this tank. tank will be set up in the nest week then cycle to follow. there is lots of time i am just curious as to what others like and if i have missed something please give me a suggestion. MUST BE REEF SAFE Basically making a 50G reef safe list.

How have you found the Roland's Damsel? I've seen them before but wasn't sure how they are with other fishes?

All the ive rock was dead and in buckets with the exception of one piece to seed. when bone dry it was about 65- 70 lbs. the sand was dead and in a bucket wet and was about 55 lbs. looking for another 10lbs of sand if anyone has any to spare.
