I'm trying to finalize the stock list for my 60 cube.. It's a mixed-reef with an open aquascape, 20 gallon sump, a great skimmer, two MP10's for flow, and a MH/T5 combo for lighting. I'm looking for an overall peaceful tank, and I'm trying to get my stock list planned and well thought-out first. All fish will be QT'd for 8 weeks (separate 20 gallon QT tank), and I feed a mix of spectrum pellets and frozen (cyclopeeze, mysis, formula 1, 2), and the occasional live black worm.

Here's the list so far (in no particular stocking order):

-Black Saddleback clown (currently in QT, and is a baby at less than 1 inch). I don't plan to pair him up because of aggression issues later on.
-Yellow Watchman goby (also in QT)
-Purple Firefish (I'm a bit concerned with the Yellow Watchman, but they inhabit different areas of the tank usually)
-Single Blue/Green Chromis
-Sunburst Anthias
-Trio of chalk basslets (I read one report where they grew to 6 inches in captivity, but the norm is 3inches, from what I've seen)

What do you guys think? Thanks in advance for the help.
 
I would be cautious of the yellow watchman goby and the firefish. My yellow watchman goby is super aggressive towards firefish. I learned this the hard way. :(

That's no fun. :(. Did the firefish jump? I might not add the firefish. I've had them in almost every tank I've had. Time for a change.

I was also thinking about some type of flasher wrasse...
