Stocking List?

After posting/reading on here trying to get an idea of what I want in my tank I have come up with my stock list for my 29 gallon reef that I am going to be putting up.
2-False Percula Clownfish
1-Lawnmower Blenny
1-Firefish
1-Flame Angelfish
I really wanted to get a Green Mandarin Dragonet, but from what I have read and the suggestions that I have got from you all I have desided to go with the Lawnmower Blenny. I guess I will have to wait for my Mandarin when the wife lets me get a bigger tank.
 
I never had a flame angel(may need a little more room). I had the coral beauty and the rest of your list in a 29g. Everything got along very well. Stock list looks good (except for maybe the Flame
) but just add your fish over a decent time span because levels can change rapidly in a 29 if you don't stay on top of it and sometimes even when you do.

If you read about the flame angel on this site, it says it needs at least a 50 gal for swimming room

I have read on a lot of sites and they all say something different. Anywhere between 20-50. This is why I am asking to see if anyone thinks that it is ok for the fish.

I personally wouldn't keep a flame angel in a 29. They are very active and will use every bit of space offered. If you want an angel, look at some from the argi complex; cherub, flameback, etc.. They stay smaller. Angels are also aggressive and cramping them exacerbates this behavior. I would do the clowns, firefish and a royal gramma.
The lmb may starve in such a small system if it runs out of algae and won't accept prepared foods. Many don't.
