Oh good.
I have a 20 sump and I keep my bioload down to 3 fish...Tried not to flame you. IMO, keeping one clown isn't very cool unless it's a maroon and some say they get lonely. If it were me, and it isn't, I would either get two clowns or cross the clown off...
That said, I REALLY like the jawfish.

I think the stocklist there is great.
Imo, only add one other fish if it's small and if you only get one citron.

I didn't think they had to be in pairs...but I could be wrong. Do clowns really care? Who the heck knows???

I like the list in post number 521 other than the clown goby. Here is the reason why;
From wet web media
"Clown or Coral Gobies, The Genus Gobiodon. Thirteen species.
I must mention these tiny chubsters; they've got to be close to the best fishes for reef and "mixed" aquariums. Though only attaining a miniscule 2 1/2 inches, Gobiodon are huge on color and spunky personality. Due to their noxious body slime no other fish bothers them, and they're happy as proverbial clams with some Acropora coral to live and feed on or their skeleton and a little live meaty food. Coral gobies should only be housed with non-aggressive feeders such as Cardinals, Seahorses and Pipefishes.
When kept as a small group they readily form pairs and mate. The genus are hermaphrodites, with females turning into males. The female deposits circular bands around a branch of host coral that are immediately fertilized and subsequently guarded by the male. Perhaps owing to their small size, rearing the young has not proved easy.
The lemon-drop-like Citron Goby, Gobiodon citrinus is the most commonly kept. The equally adaptable Yellow Goby is frequently mixed and sold as the citron; it lacks the latter's beautiful blue and white lines. Also check out the gorgeous blue-spotted coral goby, Gobiodon histrio; often mis-identified as Gobiodon rivulatus.
Keep your eyes open for the coral gobies of the genus Gobiodon and do try them if you have a mixed invertebrate/peaceful fish set-up or reef system with Acropora polyps to spare... as this is what this genus largely lives and feeds on in the wild. Found in the wild with small damsels and juvenile hawkfish which share their Acroporid perches."

The only thing left in post 521 is the jawfish and the midas blennie then
WHat do you think of the black clown? DO you think they have to be in pairs?
How many do you have in your tank?
I have 2 yellow clown gobies in the 54, and 2 in the 225g and they don't mess with anything...

Yeah if you plan to have some SPS coral the gobies can irritate them just because they sit their little selves on them, even if they don't take a bite.
In my 29 bio cube;
2 Black ocellaris Amphiprion ocellaris var
1 Mystery wrasse Pseudocheilinus ocellatus
1 Tailspot blenny Ecsenius stigmatura
1 Bali tiger jawfish Opistognathus sp.
1 Guest One spot foxface. Siganus unimaculatus

Don't know much about LED's and plant growth. Hopefully someone else will chime in here.
Wetwebmedia says;
"Constantly diving in and out of coral and rock crevices, eliciting oohs and ahhs from observant aquarists, and the occasional "what was that?" These are the diminutive in size, but definitely not in temperament Dottybacks.
Very bass-like with their pear-shaped eyes, canine teeth and aggressive manner, these small slender fishes make great aquarium specimens; if the rest of your fish livestock is compatible.
The genus Pseudochromis consistently has some of the most beautiful and bold species offered in the trade. Don't let their size ever fool you, these small marines are tough customers; some are counted as the top predators of their reefs. Though most are attain only a few inches in length (the giant of the genus, the Australian Pseudochromis novaehollandiae gets to 7.5 inches), you are well advised to have a separate system or other way of dividing your Dottyback from your other fish livestock in the event of an all out piscine war on introduction."
