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

    Adding fish at the same time helps with territorial issues they may have, or so I have read.

    Alrighty!!! So I believe I'm set on a stock list of 5...(in order of adding them)

    1 occ clown
    1 royal gramma
    1 pink spot goby
    1 Midas blenny (or purple fire fish or six line)
    1 bangaii cardinal
    :)

    I really need help choosing between the fire fish, Midas, and six line. I don't know which would be best for the system. Help!!!!

    Also, this Tuesday there's a good chance I'll get the 50lbs of dry reef saver from BRS. Fingers, toes, and eyes are crossed.

    You seem set on the Midas Blenny but have you considered the max size of the fish? It's 6"! also 6 line Wrasses are territorial. Won't have much territory inna a 29g which can lead to aggression. Then you must consider the *actual water volume* of your tank. Def won't be 29 gallons.
    Please think about what's best for the fish. I have a 26g and know the frustration of having a small tank and our fish options. It's taken me 2+ years to find just the right combo. I did a ton of research and best of all I listened to those with more experience, even though I didn't like what they had to say ;)

    Trust me! I'm all for the fish! How about no Midas, instead a purple firefish. So that's

    1 occ clown
    1 royal gramma
    1 pink spot goby
    1 bangaii cardinal
    1 purple fire fish

    How does that sound?:)

    I'm going to go ahead and apologize in advance... I'm known to go back and fourth on my stocking.:) on my old build thread on AA I must have change my mind like 12 times.:D that being said.... How does this sound?

    1 occ clown
    1 royal gramma
    1 bangaii cardinal
    1 pink spot goby
    1 blue reef chromis

    Or should I just stick with the fire fish instead of the chromis?

    Update: there's a good chance I might order the 50lbs of reef saver tomorrow in the BRS buy.

    Alright since shipping is going to be 40$ at BRS I'll probably be doing the 50lbs key largo from Marco rocks with free shipping. Do you guys think it will be as good of a quality as BRS?
