Another 55-Gallon Tank

[FenReef]

I'm glad to see there are a number of people have smaller tanks, here's mine.

I'd like to add at least 1 more decent size fish, not sure what. Anyone have any suggestion?
I'm going to get at least 1 clown (maybe a pair)

Very nice tank. We have almost the same setup. Do you
have the blue bio-bale in your skimmer? We are thinking of
taking ours out.

Thanks FenReef. We're going to start gradually taking out our bale.
Another question, do you use a glass cover on your tank or leave
it open?

Due to heat problem's we took the glass out. I've also read that there is a better gas exchange with the glass off

here's a recent of the tank

Hey Fenreef I was wondering about your cleaner and peppermint shrimp. I to also have a 55 gallon tank and wanted to know about the compatibility? Any comment or help from anyone would be appreciated

We had both in our tank and they got along fine until the evil coral banded shrimp killed both of them.
