First reef tank here, and we just added our first peppermint shrimp and they seem to be doing fine.
Our main idea for fish is to add them in this order
Pair of Bangaii Cardinals
Pair of False Percula Clownfish
Neon Goby(s)
Coral Beauty Angelfish (I've heard mixed ideas about these guys, from being great starter fish to coral mongerers)
We kind of wanted to add some soft corals, but we weren't sure what kinds, and just wanted to make sure that we weren't going to have any giant brawls by putting this fish in...hehe
We have a 46 gal. bowfront with 2 powerheads, a T-5 light, a sump, a skimmer, and hopefully making a refugium within a week
