55 gallon tang community setup and stocking

[NightShinobi]

Hi there,

I was wondering if you all could help me arrange the stocking for a 55.

I'm interested in shelldwellers and calvus, if that helps any.
Are there any suggestions as to how many I could have of each?

Also, are there any other species you'd suggest?
Maybe something that swims about top- to middle-level?

There will be some rockwork, and plenty of shells.
Black sand is the substrate.
I was also looking at large, white colored rocks.

Thank you!

I would suggest starting with 6 - 8 shell dwellers to ensure a good M/F ratio and 4 -6 young calvus, but you might have to remove extra males at some point as they mature.
