WhoDat's 37gal Resurrection

I've owned this 37 gallon tall tank since I was 15 years old. For 12 years it sat in my parent's basement while I went to college, got married and grew up.

Well, they returned it to me last winter and shortly thereafter I got the "bug" again, this time for a real reef tank - a long cry from the skilter, small yellow tang and single piece of rock it housed for 2 years in the mid 90's, long before the days of internet communities like this to learn from.

So I cleaned it out, made sure the joints were still strong and bought myself a stand, CPR bak pak, crushed coral and 30lbs of rock to start with. 12 months later (today) I have myself quite the tank and a fistful of stories.

The stock is the following:

-- 2 Paired Ocellaris Clownfish - which fought so hard for two weeks straight I though I'd lose the small male, but they reconciled!
-- 1 Sixline Wrasse
-- 1 Green Chromis (started with 3, yes the weak will get picked off)
-- 1 Bicolor Blenny
-- 1 Emerald Green Crab and multiple snails and hemits

I also have 6 corals: Zoas, Kenya Tree, Finger Mushroom, Green Star Polyps, Frogspawn and a Cup Coral

The tank wouldn't be successful were it not for the help of all the posts I read on this site... thank you 3reef'ers for all the great posts to read from!

On a side note, I'm looking to add another fish to the mix - something yellow or red that can coexist with my current stock. It seems the sixline and blenny are limiting my options, so any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
