Fish stocking is now complete

Hey all,
Believe my tank is now fully stocked...tell me what you think of this
list, and this is in a 72 gallon bow.

Hippo tang (juvenile)
Foxface (juvenile)
Ocellaris clown (I htink I spelled that right)
golden headed sleeper goby
PJ Cardinal
3 green chromis

Inverts:
scarlet shrimp
cleaner shrimp
coral banded shrimp
about 22 turbo snails and a half dozen hermits

I anticipate still bulking up with some more inverts at some point, but
I think that's pretty much it for the fish stock...think it sounds like
an appropriate amount of stuff? Its with about 100 or 110 lbs of live
rock, and just starting to really get some stuff in there besides: some
zoanthids, and a couple of mushroom types are it for now, until I get
the calcium level up (its still sitting at 360...probably gonna be going
the turbocal route this week since I have a TON of coralline algae in
there).

Just remember the Hippo and Fox face are grazing fish, they love the
seaweed. Good luck with your tank

Thanks for the response. I know they're grazers, hence why I toss in
that nori periodically...i more wanted to check in to make sure tha tI
wasn't overstocked - I know that th fox and hippo are both going to be
getting a good deal larger than they are currently...

I'd add 2 fighting conchs and 25 cerith snails to keep the sand bed
healthy.

I'm still working up to shrimp. I didn't know you could mix that many
in an aquarium.

Enjoy the tank. Put up a pic if you get a chance.

In my 58 gallons tank I have two scarlet and two fire shrimps
doing great (Lysmata amboinensis and Lysmata debelius)
I can imagine many more shrimps in his much bigger 72g. tank.

Lie, you have no where near a ton of coraline algae, so why lie about
it? YOur lucky it weights 6 ounces tops....

Kurt,
I'll have to look into the conchs, but to be honest the golden headed
goby keeps my subtrate pretty well mashed around...if you've never seen
one, they fill their mouth with substrate and then sift it through their
gills, looking for little critters to eat...he keeps things stirred up
well enough that I have to go in every few days to re-level the sand bed
a bit (otherwise I get a tremendous mound in the middle, and am
practically bare on the sides).

As for the shrimp, I added my cleaner shrimp WAY early on because my
clown fish was in need of him (he had that odd cottony growth). He's
done well, molted several times etc. The scarlet still seems quite
antisocial, preferring to hang out in the back where no one can see him,
but I spent about 20 minutes watchin the coral banded pick throug my
live rock and feeding himself...it was actually fascinating.

Funny. It sounds somewhere between a nuisance and entertaining.

What do you feed him?

Well, I've been adding copepods on a monthly basis to the refug, but for
the most part he eats the same as all the rest of the fish...flake,
brine...about the only offering he has shown no interest in is the nori.

It is something of a nuisance, but also fascinating to watch.

Some times the coral banded shrimp like to have the
other shrimp over for dinner.
