50g frag tank fish recommendation

[Jake_the_reefer]

I finished my zoomed 50g lowboy frag tank with 20g sump and I am in need of help choosing fish for this tank.
What I am looking for is utilitarian fish for algae and possible pests and of course to keep a good bioload in the tank.
So far I have 3 fish in the tank which are a small scopus tang (will be rehomed when it gets large) and 2 small clownfish which will be moved to my 20g soon.
What else should I add to this tank?

In terms of cuc I only have like 4 snails and 4 hermit crabs from a tank i broke down. There isn't much in terms of algae yet so I'm not going to buy more right now.

6 line.

6 line.

I was thinking a 6 line would probably be the best in barebottom.
Added note there isnt much in terms of hiding spots as its all just frag racks

Could add a few rocks off in a corner and make a sleeping spot for the little demon. Looks like you already got a couple.

I’ve been looking for this tank and can’t seem to find it. Seems that they don’t make it anymore? Where did you get it from?

They still make it. You just can't get it unless you are a retailer. A lfs near me has them in stock

Super nice tank! The average price i find it at is $169 I got it on sale for $149 non tempered so its drill ready. They also make a reptile version

I love shallow reefs but right now it’s not in my budget to get something bigger, so I figured this would be a good option till I can upgrade to a big tank

If you think a 4 / 5 / 6 Line is too aggressive, you could put in a Yellow Coris for pest control. I was about to say complement that with a Starry or some other kind of algae eating blenny but seems like you have a bare bottom so I’d go with a wrasse that can eat worms.

I thought yellow coris absolutely need sand. I'd like to avoid a bucket if sand to accommodate it

Ouch. Sorry for forgetting that. Yes they do need sand. Maybe stick to what others recommend.
