well its time, tanks about 6 weeks old water params are great and my first frag is thriving, so im going to add a fish. the tanks a 30 tall and a ten gal sump. I was thinking about a lawnmower blenny, but i have a uv sterilizer coming tommorow so i sont think there will be enough for him to eat. ive had percs before and i am thinking about a pair but id like to do something else. I like the idea of a small fish like the lawnmower, or something similar anyone have any great ideas.

Well, you could try some Damsels. :D

I am just kidding. I would stay away from those guys. In all seriousness, you could try all types of smaller fish such as gobies, basslets, blennies and maybe a dwarf angel. It really comes down to personal preference.

Dottybacks/pseudos are entertaining and colorful

I have 3 blue-green chromis'. They are cheap, hardy, great for beginners. I actually prefer to watch them over a lot of fish out there. They school together, and look beautiful! Sometimes they look green, sometimes blue. A lot of people don't like them, but they are actually a pretty cool fish to watch. Good luck!

Bi-Color Blenny... tons of personality and real cute.

Bi-colors are cool. Yellow watchmen might be a good addition. I've heard that lawnmowers pick at some corals though.
