    Fish in the tank so far: Purple dottyback, Percula clownish, Yellow Tang, Heniochus Butterfly, Coral Beauty.

    Equipment: 75 gallon DT, 20 gallon sump/fuge, 90#LR.

    I'm looking for suggestions on what else to add fish wise. This is a reef tank and I do 10% water changes weekly. I'm getting a AquaC ev-120 protein skimmer soon.

    How about a flasher/fairy wrasse? Might want to get a less timid species too with what you've already got.

    You have some pretty big fish in there already so I would personally get a smaller one. Make sure you have enough swimming room for that butterfly when he gets big, I honestly think it's too big for a 75, LiveAquaria says max 10" for Heniochus acuminatus, yikes.

    +1 on the fairy wrasse..they're very easy-going and just cruise the front glass

    Yeah, it's tiny right now but when it does get too large I will trade it. I was also thinking about getting some sort of wrasse.

    im a big fan of the flashers, either a carpenters or mccoskers would look excellent. they look so cool when they flash and motor around the tank

    Me too, very cool to watch. I've never personally seen a butterfly fish that big to be honest (in the trade that is). Sixlines can be quite puggish so if you're looking for timid then I'd pass on him.
