Stock list for 55 gallon

[manderz]

Hi!
I'm fairly new to the saltwater world, and I'm working on my stock list. I have a 55 gallon tank that I sort of inherited from a friend who was getting out of the hobby. I'm not too sure on all of the equipment, but I am working on slowly upgrading most of it. Anyway, I was wondering what all of you wonderful, much more knowledgeable people thought about my ideas... I currently have 2 false percula clowns, and a green chromis, along with the cuc (10 nerite snails, 2 turbos, and about 10 hermits.) I would like to get:
1 firefish goby
1 mandarin dragonet
1 royal gramma
2 banggai cardinals
I'm also in love with corals, and have some green star polyps, a flower pot coral, and some cute little brown zooanthids. Any advice or comments are appreciated!

WElcome to SWF.....What type of lighting do you have?
Mandarins live mostly on copepods...how old is this tank? Do you have a refugium?

Thanks! I do not have a refugium. I'm not sure exactly how old the tank is, I inherited it from a friend of a friend, I've had it since the beginning of March. There are a TON of copepods in the tank though, I can see them all over everything in there. I have a 48" nova extreme set up with 2 10000k t5's and the blue lights too, can't remember the name, lol.
