hello, long story short... my tank is almost empty for 2 years... whitout maintenance.

i decide to "clean"/redo my tank... i keep the old rock, change 100% sand.
refugium still kicking, have to dose Kno3 and phosphate too keep the cheato and C.brachypus alive.

i still have a 8years old royal gramma in this tank.
first thing first, i need fish that will help in there.

1) first thing in mind :
- yellow wrass or silver belly (depend on availability)
- lawnmower blenny (never have one)

2) compatibility of lawnmower whit...
diamond goby ?

after this... the fish for "fun" ‍
( 1 or 2 in this choice or other idea)
flame hawkfish ?
firefish ?
tail spot blenny ?
bangai cardinal ?
standard ocelaris ?
Blue Line Grouper ?

for the coral i will keep it simple and hardy.
pulsing xenia (yes!), gsp, rico, yuma.

i will love to read your impressions (i already reed some post but... )

meh...
in the past 15yrs i was not a fan of "big fish" in that size of tank.
i decide to replace the lawnmower by a tail spot blenny.

In my opinion I prefer the silver bellied wrasse. One they have more contrast and color. Two the eyes on there dorsal find seem to glow when you have your lights on and they look amazing.
