I am setting up a 45 gallon reef, and was thinking of what to stock it with. I have made some mistakes in the past, and would like to know exactly what im adding beforehand. Id like to add the most aggressive fish last, to avoid any kind of trouble. Obviosly it depends on how big the fish are, the only 2 i know for sure are a pair of false percs, occelaris, whatever you call em. Otherwise i am not sure. There will not be a skimmer initially, that will effect how many fish im sure. There will be about 50 lbs of lr, and some soft coral eventually. How many fish could i fit in it without a million water changes? Do you have any suggestions of what to add? What has worked well in small tanks for you in the past? Thanks for the input!

what do you want the tank to be like? zoanthids? shrooms? sps?
fish only?
all of that kinda makes a difference...

I like my midas blenny and I had a yellow-headed jawfish. both great for small tanks!
