1 royal gramma ( same color scheme as the psuedo) yellow & purpuleish-pink
2 perc. clowns orange and white
2 neon gobies black and blue
1 lemon peel or pygmy angel yellow or bluish yellow
3 chromis green
2 banggai cardinals black and white and gray
this would be a very cool stocking list beacouse all the colors are found in other fish too so you have a great mix of color but still all complement each other.

But the royal gramma would be the same problem as the diadema..too aggressive for the firefish. Hey, where are the firefish in that list? Otherwise, its awesome! Would it be better to just ditch the firefish and just keep the pseudo with that list? I really like that list!!

Okay...so, my list is:
1 diadema pseudochromis
1 percula clownfish
2 neon gobies
1 lemonpeel angelfish
1 Scott's Fairy Wrasse
2 banggai cardinals
3 bartlett anthias
Think I could do all that if I had really good filtration and did weekly water changes? I realize its heavy, but I think I can make it work. I replaced the 3 chromis with the wrasse, and knocked the clown down to 1..and then I added the 3 bartlett anthias..I know I'm pushing it..but I think it will work. I think it would make one HECK of a 55! What do you guys think?

But, unfortunately, due to some recent family problems, I basically have to start all over (not quite, I'll still have my LR and the couple fish I currently own) but I really need new equipment. I want to get some odyssea halides and a nice sump. Currently I'm running two Aquaclear 300's and a Lee's Counter Current Skimmer. They both work nicely, but ya know..

My mistake. I did mean the Scott's Fairy. Sorry, I get them mixed up sometime because they both have simularities in personalities and compatibleness.
I see you mentioned reefsafe and so you might want to reconsider the Lemonpeel or do more research on how reefsafe they are. A lot more to consider than just color when mixing fish.

Yep..I know all about the lemonpeel and its tendencies. I really want a bright yellow and blue angel, and I've heard that some will eat everything, and others nothing. I wanted to do a Majestic Angel, as they only get 7" wild, from what I've read, and they're generally reef safe, but I don't know if that would work in a 55 or not. If not, can you recommend any other bright yellow fish that might work?

Without mentioning a Yellow Tang, you may want to consider Butterflies. Or a small school of Assessors. Maybe a Butter Hamlet but again, not with Firefish. I like Chalk Bass, not Yellow but pretty.
So many fish to choose and such little space, that everyone's problem, mine too.

Would a copperband butterfly work? Also, just out of curiosity, are there any types of anthias that would work in my tank? Bartletts maybe, or Sunbursts, something that stays smaller?

Well, of course..I'm just considering certain things that might work.
