I figured i would add my wish list and see if there is something i could add (or need to remove). Tank is a 30g bow front, right now it is FOWLR, but i am planning on adding some easy corals.
Currently:
2 False Percs
Serpent Star
2 Cleaner Shrimp
Some Nass and Turbo Snails
Some Hermits
Want:
Royal Gramma
Yellow Watchman
Lawnmower Blenny
Sixline Wrasse
I would love to add an Angel, but am afraid a 30g is too small...

All i can tell you is to be Careful with the SIx Line and the Gramma, my Gramma killed my sixline today to be carefull and watch them alot

DrummerKev - thats horrible news, Im sorry for your lose. My royal gramma and 6 line get along just fine. There wasnt really even any territorial fighting. Maybe mine do well since my 6 line was in 1st and the gramma is bigger. the gramma wont pick on the 6 line cause he was first, but the 6 line wont pick on the gramma cause he is too big (at least I hope that is how it works).
That said, I wouldnt be gutsy enough to put them in a 10 gallon tank together without a lot of hiding places.
Even more important though, I wouldnt add 2 fish at a time to a 30 gallon. I have a 29 gallon, and I cant imagine it having enough biofilter to support the addition of 2 medium sized, and somewhat active fish, at the same time. You already have the 2 percs, I would just add:
Yellow watchmen
Lawnmower blenny
6line
Gramma
in that order and one at a time. also what is your filtration? that is not an unmanageable bioload, but I hope you have good filtration for it because it is kind of high. Also a small pygmy angel is ok in a 30 gallon, but if you do that I would eliminate 2 of your fish. Since a pygmy angel is bigger and usually a little less hardy. Hope I said something helpful in that mess....

My condolences for your losss Drummer...thats a shame.
Thanks for the advice jacrmill, filtration wise i have 35lbs of LR 30lbs of LS, and a HOB that i run floss and the occasional carbon. Honestly, i got the HOB more for the 200gph flow, making up about 660 total...I have been going back and forth about getting a skimmer, but i havent had a nutrient problem.
