Hey guys, my grandparents decided their 210 gallon soon-to-be-reef isn't enough, so they want another tank. I have a 60 gallon reef-ready with all the stuff, including 20 gallon sump, just sitting there cycling (been cycling for about 3 days now). I took my grandma to the LFS to decide on some fish for the 210 gallon, and she probably spent more time looking at the nano tanks with gobies, inverts, clowns, damsels, other tiny fish, and (no way I'll let her get one) the mandarin dragonets. So, they want their new tank to be a big tank with small creatures. They don't want it to be super populated with corals, like their 210 gallon, so just a few to make it look nice would be okay. They want a lot of inverts, but also lots of small fish, just not large schools of small fish. The idea of the tank is that the harder you look, the more you see. So, what critters would be suitable for a tank like this? I'm happy to answer any questions you have about equipment, etc. that would make your job a little bit easier. Thanks!
 
I have a diamond goby and he is a blast in my 60 cube. the personality on him is fun to watch as well as the way he is never in the same place in the tank. And with a light coral load you dont have to worry about him burying them like my picture.
