75g dt, 30 gallon sump. fairly new but with lots of cured live rock 40-50lbs and 50 lbs dry. was almost finished cycling with dry 0 amm. and almost 0 nit. when I added live rock and it all hit 0 over night and stayed there even with heavy feeding for a couple days.

current stock list is

yellow tang: friend was breaking down tank so i took him

occ. clowns: 2

these fish were added first the clowns then the YT because I had them in QT already, bad idea now that I know.

1 blue chromis

1 banghai cardinal

1 cleaner shrimp and 30G CUC from reefcleaners

I'd like a gobie or blennie. something for the bottom of the tank and 1 or 3 more fish if possible.

Skimmer is rated for 180G SCA-302
2 1300 GPH powerheads and mag 7 return.

Open rock work, big island on right and column on left.

thanks

Ive been testing and amm= 0 nitrite= 0 nitrate= 0-10.0

I would do either anthias or a dwarf angel like a flame but that's all I would put

I had one didnt touch anything but there are varying results. Fairy wrasses are great too.

I really like flame angels but I'd hate to try and catch it if it was a nipper. Thinking about a wrasse and Benny maybe. Just seeing what other people thought or recommended

Fairy, flasher or Halichoeres wrasses are great. Flame or longnose hawks are cool. A gramma or a Liopropoma basslet species is nice too.

Yellow Watchman Goby

A yellow watchman and a tiger pistol shrimp are very cool. Midas Benny's are my favorite of the blennys.

I have a yellow watchman goby and a pistol already. Misspelled it Coby in the OP

Maybe a wrasse but the hawkish can eat my shrimp and smaller fish and they're not the most reef safe fish

Oh snap another Louisville reefer! I decided on a fire fish so far and a blenny and flasher or fairy wrasse to finish it off.
