Adding Fish - any suggestions?

OK,
As of right now (as far as fish go) I have a 3-4" Yellow Tang, a 2" Six-Line Wrasse, and a 3" Royal Gramma. I've now lost TWO fish to SEIOs M1100 intakes :yikes: a clown goby and a lawnmower blenny.
I'd like to add some more fish. I would also like to add MORE flow to my tank when I get the time to hook up a sump and return pump. I'd like to keep these three fish but I am willing to find new homes for the Tang or the Gramma if need be (the Gramma has been building a home in my rockwork and has become noticeably more aggressive). Whatever I get would have to be "reef-safe" - no dwarf angels unless you've taken some sort of oath concerning their angelic behavior.
... the lawnmower blenny was always muching on algae, and my Tang does an excellent job of keeping my feather calerpa "trimmed" - so maybe something with a similar diet? I think a second Tang might be pushing it (as far as their comfort is concerned :smokin: )
I also am a scrooge when it comes to feeding - so Anthias are a no-no.
Some really neat-looking wrasses are getting to decent prices (can you keep different kinds of wrasses together?)
A few shrimp/goby combos would be neat. Would my Coral Banded Shrimp leave the shrimp alone?
I'm sure I'll end up getting a pair of true percs - how many clowns can you have?
Anyway I keep shooting down everything that grabs my attention. Any of you all have some suggestions?
 
Clown fairy wrasses are cool. Also, watanabe angels are 100% reef safe. Google them, Fewells can get a pair I think. They are cool. James has these in his reef down in Rogers. I was going to get some, but I don't want a big bioload on my tank. I'd rather have $$$$$ in coral. Also, look into a red sea sail fin. My is great and eats bubble algae. One of the only things I've found that do, better than emeralds!!!!!!
 
Thanks for the watanabe suggestion! I'd never seen one before... I like the looks of the silfin tnags - but from what I've read they can get bigger than most zebrasoma species...

Any other suggestions?
