I have 2 250 watt mh with 4 pc 54 watt bulbs. I will look into those ideas (gorgs scare me for some reason). Thanks for the ideas!

I'm afraid of the hawk and my shrimp. Thanks!

YAY...I see the picture...LOL
If you want to keep shrimp...then forget the hawk.....my peps disappeared shortly after adding the flame hawn in my 54G
Yellow coris wrasse are very pretty, as are the filament wrasses...both reef safe...the filament has more red though....something I do not see in your tank.
I would look into getting a monti, or something to put on that top branch rock on the left....you ned some color there

I vote monti cap(s), maybe on the left, and some zoas down in the middle that pop, like nuclear green or something

Thanks, I think there is a consensus on adding red and a monti. I'm going to do that. I really like the filament wrasses.

i love ur background. something with red would look great
Thanks! I was told by some people that I work with that the background would not look right on my tank. I think I proved them wrong, and I got the background cheap on clearance. Red does seem to be lacking in my tank.

A monti will be added to my tank. I'm going to be adding some of the more colorful zoas to my tank. I just need to find a local place that carries them.

I agree with the corals that have been suggested. Some colorful pieces will really make your tank pop. I LOVE your rockwork btw.
How about a group of flasher wrasses (one male, multiple females) or maybe even some anthias (you can do it!)? I'd definitely get another blenny as well. They're my absolute favorite fish, so much personality, I just can't have a tank without one anymore.

Thanks! It took quite a few tries to get my rockwork just right. I plan on getting a new blenny. I was so bummed when I found him.
I found a fish I like:

Is that the Resplendent Anthias? I really like them. I'm thinking of ordering 3 or 5 when I get into the new house for one of my tanks. They're one of the few I haven't tried yet. I'm bored with my Maldives Lyretails.

Yes, it is. I did a quick read of them and they are supposed to be somewhat hardy as far as anthias go. I might have to try them.
