I have a 58 gallon that is slowly becoming a reef tank. I have two perc clowns, a coral beauty, a yellow tang, and a scooter blenny. I want to add one more medium fish or two more small ones. I can't make up my mind. What are you guy's suggestions?
Help me dcide on my last couple of fish!!

im gonna say if you put anything else in it your gonna be overstocked. but then again im not an expert.
A royal gramma is pretty cool. Gorgeous colors and they stay small. I would remove the tang though. Your tank isn't big enough imo.
Hmmmm you guys really think its full? Maybe I should put in some more corals instead of another fish.
As far as the tang goes I have heard it both ways. I have a 72 bowfront that I'll be setting up sometime and if he starts looking uncormfortable I"ll put him in it. He is really small right now so I should have plenty of time.
I was thinking maybe a couple of chromis or a bi-color angle would go well in the tank. Maybe not?

It's hard to argue with that. Until they get too close and start to fight with each other, adding more coral is always a good idea
Yellows can be an exception to the 6'+ tank rule for tangs, but 50 gallons of swimming space is the absolute bare minimum. My personal guess is that they can survive in smaller tanks much better than most tangs, but may have problems (physical or mental) as a result. It will probably be happier in the 72, eventually.
If you really want to add more fish, I'd say a goby or two, or a small basslet and you're done, but I'd recommend against doing it, because you already have almost all more aggressive fish in there.
