i was hoping you guys could give me some suggestions on what i could add to this stocking list to make my tank more vibrant. i have a 75 gallon tank with a 20L for a sump. about 50lbs of live rock and 80 lbs of sand (3 in. sand bed roughly), two koralia 750 gph power heads cpr skimmer 150 gallon i think. anyways right now i have :
1) 1 pair of false percs. (approx 2 in. each)
2) 1 arc-eye hawk fish ( 2.5 in.)
3) tiger serpent sea star ( i think thats what its called, its light brown with dark brown bands, it has tiger in the name though, haha)
4) coral banded shrimp
5) valentini puffer (2 in.)
6) flame angel (3 in.)
7) flame scallop
8) arrow crab on the way, waiting for him to arrive at the LFS

any suggestions? preferably fish that swim alot

i dont think i have maxed my tank out yet...let me know what you think!

how many more do you think is a comfortable amount of fish in this tank? some of those anthias are pretty cool. can you think of anything else just to give me some options?
 
I would suggest a yellow coris wrasse (although it isn't really part of the coris family, it's just sold as such)... it adds a nice splash of color and an active swimmer.

The one I have hasn't even taken a glance at the cleaner shrimp I have... so not all wrasses are shrimp killers, just certain families...
 
I looked at the coris wrasse and the chalk basslet and both are very cool looking. How many more fish do you think i can safely fit into this system?
 
A couple of my favorite small and manageable fish are the Royal Gramma and the Firefish. Both are jumpers, so only consider if you have a sealed top and I see you want swimmers, these guys both like to hide in holes in the rock if they are threatened.

One of my favorite open water swimmers is the Heniochus Bannerfish. I have thought about a FOWLR system just so I could have one of these guys.
 
Yellow or Blue Assessor small gorgeous fish and one of the most peaceful ones you can find. Also extremely reef safe.

They are also extremely hardy.
