I have a tricolor (kashiwae) in my 55g and he does great. Eats everything, very hardy. I hear that Bartett's are also good for our size tanks.

Use a pair of metal tongs from your BBQ utensils. Seriously.

Sounds almost exactly like what I'm currently running. The Remora and a couple-three powerheads is all you need. I just have a dual T-5 fixture over it, my softies and LPS are thriving.

I got some solid-color gift wrapping paper from Walmart for $2.50 and taped it to the back of my tank for a background.

Bummer.

I still have my first fish of over 3 years, an ocellaris clown. It's been through three moves and a temperature spike. Bullet proof little guy. I'll be sad when his day comes.

Aqua C Remora is a good hang-on. It pulls a lot of gunk out of my 55g.

What's the best way to dose it if you have a sumpless tank? Pretty tricky to set up a drip system I would think.
