the tank: 29 gallon
flow: maxspect gryre 350 (sps levels of flow)
filter: Live rock and a hob skimmer
scape: doesn't yet exist but should be about 30-50# of branch and base mixed
sand: 10# fiji pink, I can always add more, but I'm concerned about it blowing around too much
"current" inhabitants: Sherman bta, platinum clown

I want: 5-10 masked gobies, 1 firefish, 1 springeri damsel, clown goby(?), solandri puffer.

Now the questions: will there me to much flow for the masked gobies? will the solandri fit? what would you put in for algae control? other thoughts?
 
should not be too much flow, I have 1100 gph in my 15 gallon (not counting the hob filter gph) and I have a pair of masked goby's in there for the past 2 years, they are fine.

EDIT: Personally I would not add the damsel or puffer, but otherwise looks interesting.

I figure the puffer could be too big, but why no damsel?
 
Every damsel I ever owned was very mean, so I'm biased against them, I think they are all devils.
my last springer was a model citizen; couldn't have asked for a better fish, chill, stayed out of the way, maybe ate pests.
