Do you plan on adding any more fish in there or stick with what you have?

Hey, Yeah I'd like a few more, not sure what though, probably not clowns as I'd like a peaceful vibe, thinking maybe a possum wrasse though I'm not sure what else I could get.
Open to any suggestions :)

That's not a bad idea! You could also do a royal gramma, firefish, or a longnose hawkfish!

I have a RG in there at the moment, I did think about a fire fish but I only have a mesh top on it unfortunately, love a long nose though, might they eat my snails/future coral?

thanks!
