    black clown
    flame angle
    melanurus wrasse
    flame hawkfish
    red firefish or another cheaper wrasse suggestions someting with color that will not brake the bank lol

    List looks good, except I would not do the hippo tang, since they should still really be in a larger tank. Instead, do a couple of Fairy Wrasse. Plenty to choose from. Search for "All About Reef Safe Wrasses" to help make your choice :)

    my octopus skimmer was driving me crazy with the splashing and noise so I made a silencer for it for about $5
