Hello all.
I have been a silent observer and learner for the past few years. I started with a JBJ RL45 and in it I have stocked:
An Ocellaris pair
A Magnificent Firefish
An Orchid Dotty
A Splendid Dotty
Yellow Watchman
Orange Stripe Prawn Gobi
Court Jester Gobi
Skunk cleaner shrimp
Red Fire Cleaner Shrimp
4ish peppermint shrimp
Hammers
Duncan's
Zoas
Open Brain
Doughnut Coral
Chalice

I was presented with a great opportunity on a Max S 400L system that has been running for about two years. Up until now it has been fish only and has about 2 inches sand/crushed coral and about 40lbs live rock.
I plan on adding another 40lbs of Rock and would like to know suggestions on fish and coral to stock. This system will be maintained by my LFS who offer maintenance - 20% water change, water testing and cleaning every two weeks.
It has 10 T5 bulbs- 5 15k, 3 22k, 2 pink, and moonlight leds. Bulbs changed end of last month and may or may not switch to LED equivalent offered by RedSea at time for bulb change.

So again. What suggestions do you have for livestock? Would love to hear your favorite 100ish gallon species:

Thanks
 
If it were my tank I'd probably get a Tomini tang, onyx clownish pair, lawnmower blenny (workhorse ) sixline wrasse, about 5 chromis, and a chalk bass. That's just my opinion and some if my favorite small/medium sz tank fish. If you want to add some color maybe swap out the chalk bass for a black cap basslet and add a sunburst anthius too. Jmo
 
+1 for sunburst/fathead anthias. Fairy wrasses (Cirrhilabrus family) are some of my favorites too. Flame, lineatus, and rhomboid.
