Magnesium and calcium are a little high. Calcium should be between 380 and 450 and mag between 1200 and 1400. Your alkalinity is great

Fish wise you are done IMO, corals would depend on your light level. However you cannot go wrong with Zoas, Palys and various shrooms...they are easy to care for and offer alot of color. For inverts some hermits, snails such as nassarius, astraea, and margarita are awesome. You may think about a couple of peppermint shrimp as well. :22:

Well, just wait a little while and you probably won't have the Scooters, then you can think of adding more. Scotter Blennies are not really a Blenny, they are in fact a Dragonette. They come from the same genus, and have much of the same dietary requirements. While Scooters are more likely to take processed foods then their Mandarin cousins, and are more likely to survive, they will still need live food (pods) in their diet.
