    I can get larger shrimp so they won't get hurt. and instead of the goby my lawnmower blenny has to have a bigger tank before he gets big.

    Just add the shrimp before the hawk. As long as it is longer and fatter than the beak it should be good. This stocking list is reef safe. You could do both the goby and blennie in the 72. A good skimmer is a must though, especially for the 55.

    I have to choose one tank. the problem is that there are A LOT of good deals so the tank size could range from a 50 to a 70!:)

    and instead of a hawkfish I'd rather have a cherub angel and if it nips at coral I would get store credit and get a clownfish!;D

    I think that would be too many free swimming fish. That is why I recommended the Hawk. Don't get Tomato Clowns, they are MEAN. And they create a lot of waste.

    some hawkfish creep me out to. Their faces just give me the chills.besides falco awkfish which are smaller to. It would fit much nicer into the tank:)
