New 35 gallon setup

[spuds]

OK I am now going to redo my entire saltwater tank as I am just learning how to deal with it (after finding out my tank is relatively small and cannot handle a lionfish) and I would like to know what a good looking setup would be from all of you experienced tank keepers out there. I exactly do not know what I want, all I want is something that looks impressive. Here is my current situation. I have a 35 gallon tank with 20 lbs of live rock, and one 30" atinic blue light (which seems to grow shrooms good). What would you put in it? I am considering all suggestions consisting of corals and fish. Thanks....

im not really sure about corals, but i think mushrooms would do good. for fish, there are lots you could look into. pygmy angels, wrasses, damsels/chromis, gobies, blennies, grammas, cardinals, clowns, pseudochromids, etc. do you have ls or cc? what is the filtration, etc. is the tank already cycled? bo

The tank has been cycled, has crushed coral, and an emporer 280 filter.

I would make it a FOwLR with a clean up crew. Get a couple cleaner shrimps and some reef hermits to rid your tank of parasites and algea. For fish, personally, I would go with a flame angel or coral beauty, a royal gramma, and one or two small clowns.
Good luck!

Wow guys thanks for the info, I really appreciate it. However, I have come up with another question. I am considering getting a dragon wrasse, coral beauty, royal gramma, and a few cleaner shrimp with a clean up crew. I have looked at a few compatibility charts and have received mixed info. Does anybody here know if you can put a cleaner shrimp and a clean up crew in with a dragon wrasse?
