    I have a 30 gal reef thats been up for about a half a year now. I only have two fish, a bangaii cardinal and a 6 line wrasse. It has mostly sps with Lps and softies. I have a 20 sump and a strong cuc. My filtration is great, with a strong protein skimmer. Now that I've got my specs, here's what I want.. I'd like a flame hawkfish and either a court jester goby or a Midas Blenny. Can I do that? What's your opinion? If I can't, what could I add that's unique? I Really would like the hawkfish, and I know how they eat inverts. I picked bigger fish, other than the goby, because of the 6 line.

    I really like midas blennies. They've got a lot of personality IMO and are really neat to watch. I don't see why that'd be a problem. I myself have a 29 gal with 2 clown gobies, a bicolor blenny, a pair of percs and a yellow watchman. Never had any problems.

    I would rather have a Midas Blenny than the rainford because of the goby's eating issues. The only problem is I don't know where I could buy one, liveaquaria isnt in stock.

    I just asked liveaquaria when they will be back in stock with the Midas, if it's soon I'll buy both the hawk and the Blenny on liveaquaria. If not, I'll probably buy the hawk at my lfs for 52$ and then wait for the Midas.

    Yep, that's what I'm so worried about. I don't want aggression and I'm definitely not rearranging my rock... I thought if I added them at the same time and kept the lights off it would help enough.
