Im also going to have only herbivore or omnivore fish in my tank so they can just eat the algae.

Any tips of suggestions?

Thanks!

If you take the proper care and use a proper nutrient export system you won't have algea for fish to consume
A form of carbon dosing, great skimmer or macro algae and turf scrubber are very valuable in this hobby
In the sense of coral lps and leather coral will be the most forgiving
If your looking for a take care of itself tank. You will be in for disappointment and probably lose livestock

zoas, duncans,torch and frogspawn as well as lots of leather corals dont require any feeding and do well in a low maitenance system thats a bit on athe dirtier side.

Acans have been a notible in my personal experience i had one small colony that was a mainstay through a lot of years of on again off again maintenance programs and a few tank disasters. They just grew really slow....
