Default Thoughts on 60 gal stock

Hello,

I have always had a light fish load to minimize maintenance. Right now I have a 60 gal cube with a 30 gal sump and refugium. The tank is stocked with stony corals and some lps, all pretty small since this tank is only about 8 months old and I start with $10 frags. The animals consist of one half grown starry blend and one super old yellow tang from my previous setup. I wouldn't normally have that animal in this tank, just that it's a very very old animal and doesn't actually seem to care about the size.

I wanted to add a flasher wrasse and a jawfish to this, but also a dragnette when it got much more mature - in a couple of years. The tang might very well be dead by then because it's over 20 years old right now... What I was curious about is if I could actually add two wrasses - a McCoskers and a Yellowfin flasher or even a male/female pair. I've read that the flashers hold their color when you have more than one but tend to fade if you do only have the one.

So the final load in a couple of years:

Two flasher wrasses
Starry Blenny (already have it)
Yellow head jawfish
Mandarin Dragonette
Geriatric Yellow Tang (can be aggressive.. can be pacified with a yellow post-it note on the tank glass)

Bunch of random acros
Duncan coral
frogspawn
some random mushrooms


Thoughts?
