Last summer my 9 year old established reef tank crashed. I lost everything to the point that I tore the tank down and set it in the garage. Fast forward 10 months.

I set the tank back up and it finished cycling so, what to get? I still plan on keeping LPS and softies but I am stumped on fish selection. I am looking for fish that not everyone has, are reef and invertabrate safe, but won't bankrupt me either. The fish I want the most unfortunatley are not reef safe and I want my corals more than I want the non-reefsafe fish. Please no wrasses or anthia's, they just don't appeal to me for some reason.

The specifics:

75 gallon tank ( 48" x 18" x 24" )
80 lbs of rock
6 x 54 T5 lighting
Eheim 1262 return pump
( 2 ) Korallia 3 powerheads
Vertex IN100 skimmer

Thanks for the suggestions.

Not even Mystery Wrasses? Very nice fish! But you have Dottybacks, Sea basses, Damsels, etc. that you can still keep.
