55 long stocking questions

Well I've thought a bit about my stocking and I've come up with two fish lol. I don't really know what's out there besides your popular stuff. My first fish I think will be a yellow watchman goby & pistol shrimp. Then I'd like to get a 3 fish school, I was thinking probably blue chromis or fire fish. The fire fish are a lil more skittish then I really like though. I want the 3 schooling fish to be as small as possible.

Here are some of my ooh I like that fish

A colorful wrasse

Purple tang (I know I can't get one but I'm hoping there is a reef safe fish that can take it's place that resembles it)

Coral beauty

Azure damsel

Serpent star

Anemone but not sure which

1 clown



Not too sure how many of these I can actually have as far as bioload goes. If aggression seems like it will be an issue I'll get 2 clowns instead of a clown & azure damsel. And I plan on keeping the nem & clown(s) in the sump in the chamber directly after the skimmer so the nem has very clean water. Yes I know it's a bad idea but I'm only keeping softies so I don't need perfect water to be pumped into the display. The clowns & nem I hope would dirty the water just right for the softies to really enjoy it. This 'alternate viewing area' will be the absolute last thing that is done to this setup to ensure the best outcome and to make sure everything that needs to be tweaked is tweaked to make it work. I came up with this idea for the kids. My stand is tall and very kid knows who nemo is so I thought it would be nice to be able to offer my loved minions an easy view that they can get to without having to pick them up so they can see what's in the big tank.



I just saw the 'how many fish in a 210' thread and most ppl that voted said 8-10 so if you cut that in half for a 100g system I should be good with around 3-4? Would I be able to do 5-6?

In the 700g build OP says the huge sump was to help with the heavily stocked display tank so he could have a lot of fish with aggression and space being the limiting factors for the types of fish. I also read on here 'you will hit your agression limit way before you hit your bioload limit' so would that mean I could put whatever in my tank as long as I took into account living space, agression, maintenence and overall water quality even if I had to do a heavy cleaning twice a week?



Now I'm not looking to have 20 fish, I'd like around 8 if feasible so let's have at a good convo here. Feel free to suggest any kind of fish as long as their not bland looking or are not very active. A great example is a cardinal, looks waay to freshwater to me & isn't active enough.
