    will you be having corals ? if not , a flame angel or hawaiian angel would be cool. flasher or fairy wrasses are aweome too. no tangs as the tank would be too small. black and white clowns would look good also. others will have their preferences too. but those are some of my favs.

    This is going to be a FOWLR I like the ideas about the angels, im really trying to stay away from the blacks and white colors. So im thinking a pair of percula clowns, an angel and maybe a small snowflake? if not a pink watchman might be cool.

    I like your idea of the angel, clowns and eel. (Although personally I don't like eels, they remind me too much of snakes.) I also like the idea of a puffer, like a toby puffer, nothing too large.
