30 gallon sw setup

[snookn21]

I want to know how many of each of these species I can put in my 30 gallon with live rock and want to know if they will all live together. New to salt but want a few of these fish. Also with my algea cleaners let me know how many of each my tank can handle. I want this to be a reefsafe tank so let me know if i made the right choices, thanks John

Fish stock/ will they all live together?

Flame angelfish
Redstripe Angelfish
Barletts anthias
Maldives Lyretail Anthias
Kauderns Cardinal

For a 30 gal. pick one of the dwarf angles even one in a 30 gal is pushing it. Try to stay away from the Anthia's they need lots of swimming room and need to be fed at the minimum 3 times daily to keep healthy there really not a good beginner fish. Either one of the cardinals are great beginner fish and like the Anthia's school together. The yellow stripe maroon is ok but they can be aggressive towards other tank mates. The jaw fish generally cant live together unless in a larger tank where they will not come in contact with each other. And if you do get any jaw fish at all be sure to not have any openings on the lid of your tank because they will find it and jump out of the tank. Tangs need to be kept in a minimum 6 foot long tank imo they need lots of swimming room and definitely don't belong in a small tank some species don't even belong in our hobby because of their size .

As for your clean up crew the emerald crabs are great and are reef safe. All of the hermits and the snails you have listed are all reef safe and will do a great job on keeping your tank clean. Peppermint shrimps are also great scavengers and some people even have luck with them in controlling aiptasia. As for how many you will need depends on the bio load of your tank and how much you feed the tank. Each tank is different if i were you i would start out slow with a few of each and add more as needed.

is that tank sitting with a little bit of each side hanging over? not sure how good that is if thats the case. but looks like a good start!

Yeah I would not feel safe having it hang off the sides like that. Invest in a stand that supports all 4 corners or you may lose everything if it topples.
