Biocube 32 stocking suggestions

[AJE]

I am starting my first reef and was wondering what stocking options I have. The part I'm really interested in are the inverts and interesting behaviors

Honestly when it comes to small reefs keeping less fish is honestly the way. Less waste and maintenance.

There are tons of fish you can put into nano setups, but if you like the inverts I'd go for a pistol shrimp/goby pair, then maybe a pair of clowns.

The shrimp/goby to satisfy the invert interest and clowns are just super personable.

Try not to have multiple shrimp as they can have aggression from what I have read, except peppermint shrimp, those are good together.

A fantastic resource to nano saltwater fish would be "Igreen's Ultimate Guide to Nano Fish"

Its really good for outlining pretty much all fish you will find and their compatibility.

I have a flex 32 reef and all I have is a clean up crew, 3 peppermint shrimp, and a single Banggai cardinal (looking for another).
