finally stocking my tank... opinions on fish+corals

[cedarreef]

If I were you, I would get a pair of clowns as well as a pair of firefish, a sixline, and the midas. To me the hawk and coral beauty seem too risky to me. JMO. The sixlines can range in their aggressiveness. I had one that was so passive, he got killed by my damsel. I have another one now who is bold, but not aggressive. He will step up to get fed and won't take any crap from the damsel, but he won't start the fight. They're great, colorful fish for a smaller tank. Finally an answer to your coral question... Yes, you can keep mostly all softies. you can probably keep lower light LPS higher in the tank, but they probably won't grow as fast. Your softies should be fine anywhere in the tank.

thanks for your reply. im glad to hear i dont need to get new lights. i would like a pair of clowns...i was thinking about that. i've had a pair before but one died. i will probably buy two juvenile clarkii clowns and hope they pair off. i had no idea they get 6" big. i have a sebae nem too and i think clarkii like that kind so that'd be cool. the hawk seems real cool but i do have a cleaner shrimp so i've been thinking about if i should get one or not. is there others reason besides shrimp that make a hawk a risky choice?
i hope if i do get a sixline i hope its on the passive side cause i dont want it to fight with the firefish cause they are so small.
i want active fish that will swim around in the current or swim in and out of corals. i know sixlines are constantly on the move. but what about the other fish i plan to get?
thanks
