Wow, what a beut. Definitely on my stocking listnow. Do you think this would be okay in a 29 gal QT? (for 6 weeks before going in the 125 permanently)

You have to really love eels if you want one...you need a big tank and can't have many (if any) other fish. High bioload. From what I've heard.

Good suggestions. Upon further research I think a group of 3 Orange Lined Cardinal Fish would be cool. The lines under their eyes apparently glow under actinics.
What do you think? Orange Lined Cardinalfish

They're pretty small, maybe a larger group of them.

5 of them? I just wonder if they would stick together and not scatter all over the aquarium.

I had a Snowflake in my big reef... I don't really recommend them.

I think it'll depend on the size of the one you get. Mine was easily 6-7in when I got him, way too big IMO for a 29. But, I think a smaller one would be fine.
It's hard to say, most of the schooling/shoaling fish don't exhibit those behaviors in our tanks once they get comfortable.

Okay, next idea: Engineer Goby. Anyone have experience with these? I think they're cool because they kinda look like Eel's. Would they be okay with my current fish list? Are they going to knock things over a lot? (Frags, rocks, full grown corals)

Engineer gobies will rearrange your tank and could cause a rock slide. I'd avoid one of those.
How about a leopard wrasse?

That is so cool looking biff, I dont have a cover for my tank though so I'd be afraid to lose one by jumping.

You can make one pretty cheaply and very easily, and it's more then worth it IMO wrasses are some of the most colorful and beautiful fish you'll find.

I think I am going to try to make one in the next couple weeks, it does seem pretty easy, a lot easier than I originally thought. I am just wondering how the power cords for my powerheads will be routed through the screen top. If they go through the mesh part it would be really annoying to try to take the lid off without unplugging the cords.
If I can get that figured out, this project will be well worth it and will open up a ton of possibilities for new fish. Thanks for the suggestion, you've inspired me.

Just do what smitty did on his reef. He did a screen top on his tank take a look should be perfect for ya. https://www.livingreefs.com/smittys-reef-t22316p111.html
