My tank is going great and I want to add another fish or something. I just added a Coralife Superskimmer 65 and let me tell you, the difference it has made in my tank is amazing! I was having trouble with Ammonia creeping up on me and the skimmer has ended that as well as my nitrates are going down! I was at 20ppm and now i am at 10ppm and dropping (I hope). I am getting this greenish brown liquid that blows me away to think that was in the water! The water is crystal clear and the fish are very active! It makes me wonder if I was also having a oxygen issue prior to the skimmer! ANYWAY,

I want to add something to my tank. I currently have a maroon clown, scopas (Brown) tang, Lemon peel Angel and a Royal Gramma. I have a cleaner shrimp and a camel back shrimp. I had thought about adding a soft coral for color but am afraid the tang will eat it. I really want to add more color. This is a 48 gallon so I cannot add anything that will get too big.

Let me know your thoughts.

I doubt the tang will eat any soft corals - that isn't very common (although I know it does happen).

As far as a new fish goes, 3 blue-green chromis would look good and offer some contrast with your current inhabitants.
