Well my cube has been going for about 3 and a half months and I am looking to add some more fish and would like to hear everyone's opinions about what I would like to have. I know a lot depends on the equipment and water volume so I will list all of that first.
Reef octopus space saver skimmer rated for 150 gallons.
GFO and carbon reactor.
15 gallon refuge.
About 115 total gallons.
100-110 lbs of live rock.

I currently have
- yellow eye mole tang (1.5 inches)
- carpenters flasher wrasse (1 inch)
- red head Solon wrasse (3 inch)

What I want (feel free to state any opinions on this list and the order I should add them in.)
- orange spot prawn goby
- striped fang blenny or Midas blenny
- pair of blue star leopard wrasses
- pair of clowns
- maybe one more small fish such as a royal gramma or a chalk bass

My goal is to have a mixed reef. Thank you all.
 
Your list looks pretty good, and the new fish can go in any order without much issue.

One thing I have found though is that it can be difficult to keep prs of M. bipartitus inthat size tank. IME males can behave aggressively toward females. It can work, but just be aware of that and prepared to act.
 
Catch out either the male or the female and keep the other.
 
If I were in your situation that is what I would do.
 
It can work, but issues can arise when one begins to transition to a male, although there may be no physical features to the human eye. I personally know of a few that have successfully kept multiple species of leopards together, but those tanks were a little larger(150g and up), but I also know of someone that had a marineland dd 250 and had a female meleagris that killed any other leopard or Halichoeres wrasse in the tank.
 
Oh that's too bad I really wanted a female blue star. Oh well guess I'll have a female for a little before she transitions.
 
The good news then is that female leopards stay female much longer than Halichoeres, Cirrhilabrus, and Paracheilinus do.
 
Haha that will be nice! At least the makes still look great. Think I might get the goby next.
