Downsizing (moved to a condo) FOWLER Suggestions

[mhosts]

Hey all.

I've kept a 120 gallon reef tank for a little over 4 years now. I'm moving to a condo and don't have the space to accommodate a tank of that size.

The new tank is going to be a 60g (36x18x24) FOWLR.

I'm thinking of doing it rimless with a hanging LED fixture above, but I'm not too familiar with the types of fish that are going to be available now that it's not a reef.

Would you suggest a canopy (for jumpers)?

The only fish so far that is officially on the list is a picasso trigger. I may keep my pair of clowns (ocellaris).

Looking for suggestions as to what I can do in terms of stock.

Filtration is not an issue as I will be bringing all of the gear from my reef setup. I've got a cone skimmer, APEX controller, auto top off. Probably overkill for a FOWLR but at least I can keep the fish fat and happy without having to worry too much about algae

I'm babysitting this guy for a friend who is also moving, and may end up keeping him (if he lets me) or getting another like him. This trigger has an awesome personality.

That 36" tank is going to be too small for a trigger, and I can tell you from experience that a picasso going into a tank first will harass pretty much any newcomer.

You might look into a filefish as a similar fish.
