56 with just some liverock and sailfin mollies

its 56 gallons as I said, and has some liverock and about 6 mollies,

the light is one lightbulb that is 175 watt metal halide
and two t5 attinics

Basically I am looking for some suggestions for what I should do with it
I still would potentially need to get a protien skimmer and maybe a refugium, and oboviously a uv sterilizer
currently I am using a cascade canister filter on it



I was thinking of these options so for


idea 1
a few snowflake moray eels
2 batfish
dwarf lionfish
a trigger of some sort
engineer gobies
and I don't know where that leaves me with corals
Maybe just having it be covered in pulising xenia
maybe have some panther groupers for a little while until they out grow the tank


idea 2
another reef tank with live rock built up only from the middle and keeping smaller fish only

idea 3

keeping butterfly fish and other non reef safe fish, though it would seem like a little bit of a waste with the light, though I have plenty of normal lights for it


basically I have no idea what to do with it and was looking for suggestions,

I am going to make another post with my 75 which has quite a few corals and pleanty that I could either just put in there or frag and start a new reef
