I am thinking its time to add so more livestock. Currently I have 2 flows, 1 Tomini Tang, 1 fire fish and purple spotted goby in 65 gallon tank. Need some fish that would not be dominate but still have a lot of personality.

Right now I can not get my nitrates up and am dosing No3 to keep them at 1ppm. So I think my system can handle a few more. So suggest away! I love the idea of some cool wrasses and angel fish that would be reef safe.
 
I really fell in love with the fang tooth blenny at MACNA. I'm going to look into getting some of those!
 
Leopard wrasses are some of my favorite fishes.

I would love an angel (really want a multi bar) but they're generally coral nippers.

I really like butterflies and currently have a copper band and a pyramid.
 
I'm leaning towards a Midas Blenny and some sort of Wrasse that is not too expensive/difficult to keep. I have read that the Leopards are kind of hard to acclimate to the tank.

What are some other peaceful reef safe wrasses that you all like?
 
For a 65g, look at the smaller flasher wrasses. There are so many, you can just look up flasher wrasse. Blennies are always fun to have in a tank. Angel and Butterfly too big for that tank. Even the dwarf angels IMO, but they almost all nip some type of coral eventually. :) A dottyback or a basslet would be neat to have. They are fun to watch too.
 
Melanarus wrasse one of my faves! Just picked these guys up today for $24 each I'm not a designer clown guy but thought they were cool, he said they were snow- onyx IMAG00417.jpg
