I would pass on the sand sifting stars in your size tank... They will wipe the bethnic invert population out!! I would add maybe 5 nassarius vibex or...
Green tends to "pop" with T5 as compared to the other forms of lighting.... I had some issues with a few pieces bleaching but they will get used to...
