Stocking help

[Steven91]

Hey fellow reefers, Im having trouble figuring out what I want to stock my tank with. The tank is a Red Sea Reefer 525XL (5 ft long, 2 ft wide, and 22" tall) and i've been racking my brain the last week trying to figure out what to stock it with. The only fish I know for sure are a pair of clownfish and hopefully a pair of green or blue mandarins. Trying to get either fish i've never had before or just something unique, I've done a lot of butterflies, boxfishes, and wrasses. The tank is going to be set up for a mixed reef so would like the fish to be mostly reef safe, and doing a thicker grain but shallow sand bed

There are a lot of fish you can add. Some that have been really great (reef-safe) additions to my tank: flame hawkfish, striped dottyback, lyretail chromis, 2 and 3-stripe damsels, banggai cardinals, blue eye stripe cardinal. Check out the index page of my build thread for my current reef inhabitants list.
