    OK guys, here is my current fish lineup:
    6 blue green chromis
    Coral Beauty Dwarf Angel
    Diamond Watchman Goby
    3 Purple Queen Anthias
    and a 3 stripe damsel, that I just cant catch to get rid of.
    2 baby Australian black and white clowns (they are in a breeder net untill they get older)

    Im planning on adding a powder brown or powder blue tang as my last fish, but untill then, what would you guys recommend? Its a 125 gallon reef tank with plenty of room to swim. Im having a hard time picking out new fish!!

    Neon gobys are really good to have, specially with tangs. They won't take up any of your stocking room.

    Foxface or scribbled rabbit fish.

    I have been looking into the lined rabbitfish lately.

    I bought a pair of neons about a month ago. Neither made it. They both ate, no idea what happened. I will say, that when alive, my anthias always went up to them to be cleaned. Was really neat to watch.

    Edit:

    I really like small fish that are constantly out in the open.

    Canary blenny
    Striped goby
    firefish

    I have all of these and they are constantly out swimming the front of the reef.

    Those are nice fish, but they are also more timid, especially the firefish, I wouldn't recommend them with the livestock you have the tang you want. I think a wrasse would be a good addition, a six line would be perfect IMO. Plus, they are very active. A royal gamma or other basslet would also be good.

    I would not chance a powder blue in that small and young of a tank. There hit or miss and the majority of success stories I have heard with them (2 years+) were in at least 180 gallon tanks that were very mature and established.

    I have a powder brown in my 125 and I really enjoy having him in the tank. with the stocking being so light on your tank, you might be able to get away with adding 2 of the medium adult-sized tangs.
