I have a 75 gal tank with 88 pounds of live rock in it. Right now all I have in it are 20 snails. It has been up and running for 7 weeks now. The PH, Amm., Nitrites, Nitrates are all good. I am going to get a False Percula this weekend to start. Later I would like to add a Blue Tang and a Blenny. I plan to have mainly fish, but may add a few easy corals and an anemone later. What would you suggest for the rest of my fish?

Blennys are cool....how about a firefish or two for some color? A chalk bass is also a cool fish to watch. Everyone can correct me if i'm wrong, but a 75 is probably too small for a blue tang. It would be ok for a while, but when it grows it will need a new home. I think a 100-125 is the minimum size for one of those!

I would suggest that you consider a yellow tang instead of a blue. The blue tangs really need a larger tank. This book is very good for stocking ideas:

I'm fond of boring, common fish like clowns and royal grammas. You could also consider a school of chromis, although they'd pretty much take up your bioload quota. I've wanted an Assessor or two for a long time, but they are hard to find.
