Right now I am thinking about what to stock in this tank. I know I want mostly Lps and zoas/ricodias. Any suggestions as for species and color varieties? I'm also not sure what fish to stock in the tank I like blennys and gobies but want something that is more out and active in the tank. Suggestions?

Ok so it has been a little while since my last post. All of my levels are staying good. Ammonia and nitrites both still 0. pH 8 temp 78.0. My nitrates have fluctuating a lot but they are at 5 ppm now. My salinity has been steady at 1.025. I have also added more livestock including some maroon or red zoas an octopus euphyllia and a green Duncan. I also added a percula clown fish that was awesome and would host my hammer coral but unfortunately a few days later was dead. I'm guessing brooklynella. I'm really wishing I quarantined the fish first cause now I have to wait weeks before I will feel comfortable adding any new fish species. I would love to hear what you guys think and any suggestions or comments.

What should I get next? Thinking about making the bottom left side a zoa garden. What are some other colorful non aggressive corals that could go with them, ricordia?
