What to do w/ my 20g L

Well, I took apart my 20 gallon reef about a month or so ago, and sold the coral to my dad for his aquapod, So now I have a 20 gallon long sitting in my apartment w/ nothing in it. I tried the whole full reef thing, to and be honest, it really didnt interest me too much. I am more into fish and such than coral (which explains why i decided to turn my 125 into an aggressivce vs. a reef).

My current setup is
20gallon long DT
5.5 gallon ref
5lbs of live rock and chaeto in ref
15lbs of live rock in DT
rio 50 powerhead
millineum wet/dry w/ hypersorb
rio 1100 return
drilled overflow
agaonate sand
130 w/ PC lighting
heater (which i barely use, temps stay constantly at 75)
Cooling fan (again, barely use for same reason)

Currently it is cycled, and i can adjust the ref water cycle to about a maximum of 200 gph. I am still debating what I want to put in the tank. I was thinking of doing either seahorses or a breeder tank w/ bangaiis or clowns. But again, im not 100% sure on anything.

Any ideas/suggestions on what I could do w/ this tank would be great. I just dont want to do the full reef thing agan.

I've always wanted to try a mantis shrimp tank. Just another idea.
