Hi all,

My marine tank is finally stable. It's in really great shape. I
guess it is time to throw it out of balance again...lol.

I'm looking to add stock and would appreciate your thoughts on an end
state vision. I think I want a mix of Fish, Inverts and Coral. (in that
order, if compatibility is an issues) Is this doable? Online Fish
Stores write about Fish Only, Reef Tanks and Reef Safe setups. Does
this mean you cannot have it all?

I currently have a Tang, some Damselfish, Coral Banded Shrimp a Fiery
Red Shrimp (it constantly hides), snails and hermit crabs.

I'm listing the following creatures so you can better know my taste.
Obviously, many of these don't go together.
Anemone/Clownfish Pair

Good for a reef. Get a bubble anemone.

Long Spine Sea Urchin

Look for a blue tux, if possible. Long spines are OK.

Big Colorful Wrasse...Maybe a Moon a Parrot

No.

Sand Sifting Starfish

OK.

Blue Spotted Stingray

No.

Brain Coral

OK.

Puffer Fish

No.

Lionfish

Love 'em, but will eat smaller fish and any shrimp.

Gobies

Like mandarins? Good if you have a refugium.

Eels

I love ribbon eels. Great fish. Will get rid of your damsels and shrimp
for you.

Live Rock: ~10 lbs & a couple of "dead" porous rocks that I hope become
live over time.

Need a lot more rock, IMO.
