Hey everyone, so I have got a 60 gal frag tank... 48x24x12. It is plumbed into my main tank which is a 125 gal. I have a 20 gal long full of cheato and a Eshopps RS300 as a sump with a SRO xp3000 internal skimmer. I like fish, I want to load up my frag tank with fish. So far I have a melenaris wrasse, six line wrasse, one true perc clown and a mimic yellow tang. I want to put some more fish in there and am looking for suggestions. My skimmer is a beast for this set up and can more than handle the bio load so I am looking for some more fish that will not only look cool in the frag tank but add some more benifit for keeping the corals clean.

Pipe fish I don't think would be a good idea, I have mostly sps frags in there and 2 mp10's so there is lots of flow. Rimless tank and I have it so the waves are just barely not spilling over.

Clowns would be nice too. Just stay away from tomato or maroons. They can be territorial.

Ctenochaetus. The bristle toothed genera of tangs ...

preferably only C. strigosus for that sized tank !

melanarus wrasse or sixline and a small tang, chevron, previously stated bristle tooth. or go completely off the wall and get a frog/scorpion fsh... some are reef safe and he would be the watch dog for your frags.:frog:
