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).

I guess you have not read books about Deep Sand Bed setups...
This fish is actually work against you eating animals (sand dwellers)
you want to have in the sand. On opposite, snails he is recomending to
you are herbivourus so they are not danger to sand dwelling animals.

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

I have read in many places about this shrimp being
quite aggressive but mostly for the other shrimps of
its own kind...

When I mix shrimps in my tank I stick to Lysmata shrimps.

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).

I've not seen any indication of aggression between the species...and at
the LFS they were all together in a large tank as well.

As for the goby working against me, I enjoy the goby

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

If you ever expect to add a Mandarin, skip the shrimp (especially cleaners).
They compete for food, and the Mandarin usually won't eat anything but copepods.

As guests or as the main course?

I have a fat and happy mandarin, so I guess that nixes the shrimp. I
also have a pseudochromis that hunts for copepods. I could easily live
without him, but I suspect that he'll be the last fish standing.

Only a real copcksucker would keep changing this tread mback to its so
called Original title....................but then we all know just
how many cocksuckers the reef group really has............don;t we.
Habeeb the big butthole licker also swings both ways...so yes yuo can
count huim in on it too!

It's easier to keep them together in a big tank than
it is in a smaller tank.

The fact that they already knew each other in the
big tank, and both went into the smaller tank at the
same time is to your advantage.
