Stocking aq 65g, looking for some input

[pledosophy]

I just wanted to get some input. I've had tanks for many years, but never really any reef tanks, just seahorse tanks wtih softies. After much debate I decided to make my 65g a reef with softies and LPS. Might try another SPS but haven't had good luck so far. I'll get a 37g for the seahorses soon.

For fish I was thinking:

1 Kole Tang (know it is pushing it a bit but I'll buy small and trade out if it gets to big.)
1 Leapord wrasse (would like the Potter's but will settle for a bipartus if I never see a Potters again)
1 Bi color blenny (currently the tanks only resident)
1 Pink spotted watchman (moving him over from my 20g)

Pair of dragon faced pipefish (Depending on how the pod population keeps up)

I would also like to add another clam, currently have a crocea, would like a deresa (again trade out when gets to big)

For corals:

Currently have

12 zoo frags
2 frogspawn frags
1 hammer frag
1 torch coral frag
1 xenia frag
1 Red gorgonia (non photosynthetic)
2 ric frags
2 Neospongodes frags
(more frags coming soon also)

Would like to add

1 Brain (wife says I need one)
1 Cynaria

How does that sound?

Tank is currently lit by T5's. Has a 20g refugium. I also keep macro algaes in the display. Has 2 turbos, 5 astrea's, 5 netrites, and a pair of breeding peppermints. I have a skimmer but haven't turned it on yet, the macro is doing it's job for now. There is a CL pushing 1000 gph, a Seio 620, and the return pump pushes around 400gph. Might add a MJ Mod for some more flow. I'm a little over 30x an hour right now, but the CL runs through spraybars under the rock so it is pretty broken up.

Any input?

Thanks for your time.

There is no "if", that is unless the thing dies early from not being in a big enough tank But no really,...if you take care of him right, you WILL need a bigger tank.

Take the pipefish off...they would die in that setup quickly. They're VERY VERY shy eaters, and with all those other fish, they wont get a thing, and they're very hard to get to eat to begin with. Plus, you talking about a reef, which will (well...it SHOULD) have a ton of flow, which IMO is not great for them IMO.

Leopard wrasses are also somewhat difficult from what i hear...again, due to feeding requirements. Beautiful fish, but pretty hard i believe.
