Need some advice

1. Here is what i have in my tank now

Lawnmower blenny
Hi Fin banded goby
2 chromis
Six Line Wrasse
1 Cleaner skunk shrimp
1 Fire Fish goby
1 yellow watchman goby
1 Clam
1 Flaming Scallop
1 sand shifter star

I always like to get the fish that will in habit the bottum first, which i have so now i want to get some fish that will in habit more out in the open middle and top. I plan on getting a yellow tang and a blue hippo. Any other suggestions on fish that are peaceful reef safe and swim out in the open all the time?

2. Also I have just a little room left under my tank, enough for a auto top off Di water holder or a refugium. I want to hook up a auto shut off valve on my RO/DI maker and feed it dirrectly into the sump but to affraid that it might not shut off one time. Is there any way to make a refuguim also a auto top off??

As for peaceful fish that will swim out and about, I would suggest a foxface, copperband butterfly, maybe a sailfin, vlamingi (sp), also, look into wrasses or anthias. Anthias are nice because of their very bright colors and schooling.
