cool with the prop tank,,, Im building one to... from what I have been reading a yellow tang is a good fish, eats algae...snails are allways good, and I dont see why not reef safe hermit crabs... maybe even a methix crab, to eat bubble algae, or shrimp??? just my thoughts...

what are you wanting the fish to do? A hermit or two and some small snails would go well and be helpful. As far as a fish I would think that a lawnmower blenny would be a good fit and if your looking for something thats active I would go with some cheap chromis or something
