    Ok so two true percs or black and whites, haven't decided. I know I want 2 clowns though. After that I'm not sure, I thought maybe a six line and a flame angel. Would the flame angel pick at softies and lps? I won't have any sps, light won't support. I've seen online that they are reef safe with caution and that they aren't. Would that be too big of a bio load? Ill have a 10g sump with a fuge, and a tunze 9002. Plus 35-40lbs of lr in DT.

    Flame angels are a good choice if your gonna do a angel in a reef. I have heard less about them picking on corals then any other fish!

    Id go with 2 black clowns as they are a lil more uncommon! And i think they are awesome!(they are my fav clowns!)

    Id do the three fish as long as you have a sump and skimmer and keep it at 3 fish!

    Hope this helps!

    I would do the 2 clowns, flame angel, and a goby w/ pistol shrimp. They will help stir your sand bed and are really fun to watch!

    ya that sounds good although ive never had a problem with my sixline. he was actually pretty shy. but i also have a well established blue damsel and now a 3-4inch foxface which tend to keep new aggressive fish in order

    Not trying to say 6 lines are bad fish...but once they get too a decent size in a small tank, they turn into SOB's and start eating coral. and picking on fish..and killing everything you put into the tank.
