I am trying to decide on what to stock my mixed reef tank with, fish wise...

I have

2 Occellaris clownfish
1 Black combtooth blenny

What else would you suggest?

I plan on getting a McCoskers flasher wrasse as well.



My tank dimensions are 48" x 24" x 17" tall
 
I have a tank with similar dimensions. My stock list is 2 black onxy clowns
1 Lubbocks fairy wrasse.
1 diamond watchmen goby
1 yellow tang
The Goby keeps the sand bed clean and the tang cleans the rock.
 
melanarus wrasse!
midas blenny
yellow coris wrasse
scopas tang

I would definitely go with either a melanarus or yellow coris wrasse. They are great predators of some nasty critters in reef tanks. I love my Midas blenny and will always have one in my tank, but since you already have a blenny I might just stick with one. A kole tang might me a great addition too to eat some algae. I like starting with fish that serve a purpose in my tank and then add those I find beautiful as well.
