    Wow! I thought much more. I'm going to use a Mag 24 but will also be driving a UV at about 250 GPH. Now I don't feel concerned about lack of flow at all.

    Mustard Guttatus Tang
    Clown Tang
    Pakistan Butterflyfish
    Raccoon Butterflyfish
    Blotched Anthias ( check this one out lol)

    im more of a lowish flow advocate through sump so skimming is more effective... but a 24 should work?

    lol i like how a majority of stuff you suggested is a tang or butterflyfish! I was kinda trying to avoid tangs in the zebramosa family because they tend to be more aggressive. I do like wrasses A LOT however... and i refuse to put anything that would possibly nip at corals.
    Black spot- not a fan, looks too much like a naso
    Mustard Guttatus- cool but i want stuff with a WOW effect
    Clown tang- LOVE them... but couldnt put such a large tang in such a small tank :(
    butterflies might nip so its a no go there...
    anthias are only cool in a harem but i hear they are hard to acclimate... but its a maybe!

    I'd avoid the red corris wrasse, mine grew like a weed and killed crabs and shrimps any time he felt inclined. Beautiful fish though.

    i have heard very mixed opinions on this... I dont like to keep hermits and my snails arent that big of an issue. Im more concerned with the impact that this will have on my amphipods and copepods.

    Any other similar wrasses that you can recommend instead?
