    I need help gahtering my fish, corals, verts, cuc. copepods etc for my 46g reef.

    My tank is fairlly new and I have started with a false percula clown. I want to know some cool members I can start to add with it.

    I like the sand sifting gobies. What is a good starter goby? What are other cool (cummunity fish I can add to my memebers? and what corals are nice choice?

    I want to start a planner of what I will have. Not intending top just go buy them all at once) Just want to start doing research on what I want my reef to be. thanks.

    what lighting have you got on your tank?
    as that makes a difference on what corals get suggested

    fish wise - 46 gallon , here are some that I would consider

    Royal Gramma
    Dwarf Angel - (flame, coral beauty, rusty, flameback ) but some might give you issues with corals - reef safe with caution
    Cardinalfish
    wrasse - flasher, Radient, six line, any of the smaller species would be ideal

    inverts - aside from hermits and snails

    Cleaner shrimp
    blood shrimp
    are both good species IME

    Check the threads on the show of your fish tank section - see what others are keeping in this popular tank size

    you can get loads of ideas from there - I know I do
