Hello All!!!

I was wondering would it be in my best interest to add any more fish to my FOWLR DT and if so what will be compatible with my current fish?. Currently, I have a Scopas tang, Coral Beauty, (2) engineer gobies, blood shrimp, cleaner shrimp, snails and emaral crabs. I will be converting to a reef tank sometime this summer so obviously, the fish will need to be reef compatable. Any/all advise will be greatly appriciated!!! :mixed:

75 gallon tank (FOWLR) wet dry filter- (rated for a 75g tank) 7 mag return,
300w heater+ 1spare, 9w uv, 2x800 gph power heads, protien skimmer rated for 180 gallons, 1/10 hp chiller-(not installed yet) 100 + pounds of fiji live rock.

Yes, you could add a couple of additional small fish. Your Coral Beauty could become a problem nipping at corals when you convert to reef, they are about 50/50 when it comes to being reef safe, some pick at corals, others do not. Fish I would think about adding (any two):
Clown Fish
Royal Gramma
Purple Fire Fish
Six Line Wrasse

A blenny might make a nice addition. Bi-colour or Midas blenny both have great personalities and add some interest to the system.
