Still new to the hobby

Well, I was out of town for a week and my lights failed and I had a total tank crash... lost everything except for the aiptasia, and a fanworm. There was like an inch of fireworms on the bed.

So... no I'm back after ~1 year or more of empty tank. I have since added a full neptune setup and finally soldered together my LED's the past few days. In my tank right now are:

A scrawled cowfish ~3" long. This new one is much more shy than my last :-( Hopefully will grow out of it.
A blenny of some sort I caught off my dock with a dip net. Follows me like a puppydog.
A Caribbean longnose butterflyfish
A yellowhead jawfish
A pygmy filefish
One or two banded coral shrimp (was a pair, but I never see them... just will see some whiskers moving about from time to time).
Allegedly two florida fighting conchs. See them about ~1-2 times a year lol
A clean up crew and now 25 berghia to handle the anemones.

I'd like to add a blue caribbean tang. At some point, I'd like to get a little more florida liverock and some coral once I've gotten the LED light setup complete. Thoughts?

What size tank? I like the idea of you trying to do a Caribbean theme. Also check-out this link about the Tang.

Wow sorry to hear about the crash. What all did you lose? Corals? I would think many common corals could hang on with no light for a week.

I lost a few hitchhiker corals on liverock :-(. My tank wasn't ready for coral yet (nor was I), so the hitchhikers I had were probably not in super health anyway. Lost 4 yellowhead jawfish, 1 cowfish, 1 goby (that I caught myself). 3 squirrelfish, 3 chalk bass, 1 lantern bass, a decorator crab, some conchs. I think thats all that was in it.
