Nasos aren't nearly as active as say...Acanthuras tangs. It is unfortunate that both families are called "tangs" because they are so completely different.

In my reef...

Blue Throated Trigger (never had a problem eating anything he shouldn't)
One Spot Foxface (same as above)
Single Female Ocellaris Clown
Pair of Zebra Dartfish
Orange Spot Sand Sifting Goby

Also have a Lawnmower Blenny. Although he does good work I'm choked at him right now. Any frag not glued down and that he doesn't like the placement of ends up on the sandbed,over and over again.

Niger triggerfish
copperband butterfly
designer clownfish, especially the black ice
mandarin dragonets
bangai cardinal

I have all these fish and love them all. I have the copperband for a year and the trigger for a year and half.

My favourite are:

Seahorses (have 2 - but inappropriate for your tank)
Porcupine puffer (had a reef-safe one before)
Marine betta (have and love this hardy, beautiful fish)
Flasher/fairy/leopard wrasses (have over a dozen of these colourful reef-safe fish)
Copperband (finally have a good one that eats mysis & NLS pellets - thanks OC Paul)



Other fish I love are:

Purple tangs (lost mine last year)
Sohal tang (never tried)
Elongate tang (grows to big and fast for your 5' long tank)
Mandarin goby (have 2 - both eating mysis)
Cherub dwarf dwarf angels (have one)
