Hi,

I think you should skip the Angel. Really not a big enough system for the fish. Nemo is fine, as well as a Blenny. How about a Royal Gramma or one of the smaller Wrasses. You could do 3 or 4 small fish and be safe with that size system. Research the fish you want and make sure you provide them with what they need to be healthy and happy. Take a look at Gobies and Firefish. Good luck with your new adventure.

Starting with a Clown (Nemo) would probably be the best - they are hardy, and don't need very large tanks.

Before you add any fish to your tank you should ensure that the system (tank, filter, live rock) has cycled, and is stable. This could take anything from two weeks to two months. If you're not familiar with this process, PLEASE read/research.

Good luck, and enjoy your new tank.

Hi Charlimilan05 and welcome to RC! I assume you mean the Red Sea Max reef tank? I have one and if that's what you're getting it's actually 34 gallons (29 in the front and 5 in the filter/skimmer compartment in back). There are several RSM tank owners in the forum if you need help with setup, etc. Feel free to message or email me.
