When I worked at AI a few years ago we had a purple fire fish go out with a piece of live rock. It some how got into the old rock tank and when someone got home they had him. Was pretty funny. We let them keep it.

Your pipe sizing sounds fine.
Here's a link to a herbie set-up:

You will be able to find pretty much whatever you are looking for by using the search function in the upper hand corner.

A dwarf angelfish would be cool.
Got my skimmer in the mail today.
Gonna work on the sump this weekend and buy a eheim 1262 return pump (I think).
Should I add a powerhead also.
If so what size and make should I get?
It's a slow go fo sho

You should add powerheads, but you won't need a lot of flow as it is fish only. Vortech and Tunze are considered top of the line, but for what you are doing, Koralia's would work just fine and be considerably cheaper. 2 Koralia 1400's should be good for your set up. I used to run 2 Koralia 3's, but have had to add more powerheads to my system. There are a lot of different options out there to consider. The magnet's for Tunze, Vortech and Koralia are all nice though for positioning your powerheads.

Yah I figured I might need a couple powerheads.
I really like your fish list
How big is your bluechin
Does goby pair +1 mean shrimp
Thanks for the advice

My bluechin is probably 3 inches now. He is boss of the tank, even though the yellow tang is much bigger. He doesn't fight anyone, but come feeding time, none of the other fish get in his way.

The engineer goby pair +1 means that I have a pair of engineer goby's and then there is just an extra in the tank. I originally had 4, but one dissappeared. I added 4 in hopes of getting a pair, which I now have, but I haven't seen them spawn. Engineer goby's don't match up with shrimp.

Thanks for the complements on the fish list! There will be additions in the future, but I have to wait for them to grow out first.
