What do you recommend?

I have a 180 gallon tank. That will soon be a reef when I add some coral. Currently my inhabitants include a small Toby, 1 green chromis, and an orange fin tomini tang.

What should I add to the list? I'm looking for peaceful reef fish that will get along with the others.
 
A dwarf angel would be nice, or a pair of clowns if you plan to have a nem, they have great personality. If your tank is well established, Anthias are beautiful or a fairy wrasse. The possibilities are endless!:lolspin:
 
The tank has been setup and running for about a year and a half with 200 lbs of coraline covered live rock and 180 lbs of live oolite sand. I try to do a 30% WC every other month at this point because of the low bioload. I use instant ocean salt and occasionally dose oceans blend 2-part cal/alk. So im guessing it's established.

Like you said the options are endless that's why I'm looking for suggestions?
 
Peaceful, colorful, and relatively inexpensive fish. Three of my favorite criteria...

Royal Gramma
Firefish
Yellow coris wrasse
 
Midas blennys are extremely fun to watch. I highly recommend one.

They spend almost all day out swimming in the current, and at night they duck into a hole and kinda perch there. They are relatively inexpensive, peaceful, bright colored, and easy to keep.

They stay pretty small 4-5" so they don't add much bioload, you can still keep lots of other fish.

Here's a video, you can see mine:

And thats why I'm trying to help?:thumbsup: I stick by my original suggestion. Anthias are very beautiful and it sounds like you have experience so they shouldn't be hard to keep. I believe its one male per tank though.
