Try to do it all at once. No squabbling over pecking order.

honestly russ you want a nice tank so id scrap the common fish idea like the tomato clown and fire fish and damsel, since you have a rimless tank i doubt your going to cover it so avoid jumpers if you can.
sounds like you want movement i love the ember blenny suggestion, love the kole tang suggestion,id do a designer pair of clowns maybe some snowflakes and i would do a anthias maybe a bartlett( i love these guys ) i always pick fish for jobs so a mandarin/scooter is a must have for me , same with a wrasse in which case i love leopards and a black leopard would fit your tank fine provided you can find a place for him to sleep, they are also tricky to get eating but much easier then other leopards are. cheers denny

The sources suggested a larger than 65 gallon so I posted the reef-keeping article for the OP to decide for him/her self. We reefkeepers strive for the optimum conditions for the fish we remove from the ocean so it is better to always suggest a larger tank if there is a difference in opinion. |

not all wrasses are jumpers ,would depend on the type and individual fish though alot do jump for sure.

On that note, has anyone ever seen a powder blue tang in captivity that was larger than 6"? Hell, how about 4.5"?

All of my tangs except for the kole, and yellow exceeded 6 inches. I agree that you likely wont find a powder blue tang over 6 inches in captivity. But that is because powder blue tangs have a very poor survival rate. They live for a few months maybe a couple of years and than get sick and die for no apparent reason. I did have a powder brown tang that lived for 11 years and it grew to over 6 inches |

So my list now is: 1. Damsel and Firefish is already in tank so no way I will get them out, just if I decide to tear it down. 2. Ember or Tail spot Blenny. I like ember blenny but have to check on sand bed. 3. A group of anthias (like bartlets) or McCosker's Flasher Wrasse. I like very much Lineatus Fairy Wrasse as per Albert, but I am affraid will not find and will cost me a fortune. 4. Will look into nice pair of clowns. I would be looking into the clowns that will host anemonies 5. As a show fish I will say Kole Tang for now. Denny would yo be able to find me these fishes stage by stage? |
