I would say a you could go with a sandsifting goby, here are some options:

If you tank is well established for at least a year with plenty of rock then you could go with a dragnet of some sort:

what wrasse's are you reffering to as being aggressive ? i had 6 different one's in my 62g and never had a problem, only when i had a 6 line, fairy wrasse's arent aggressive

I love blennies. They have a lot of personality. My new little guy has really settled in and is so much fun to watch.

i always thought wrasses were aggressive.i guess i was wrong.i just did a quick look on live aquaria and there not.i may be interested in some wrasses.i like that blenny also ellebelle

My midas blenny was great too, though a bit larger. The cebu tailspot blenny is quite small - could be housed in a 10g.

My wrasses have never been aggressive either, but they aren't bottom dwellers.

You could get a goby with a symbiotic pistol shrimp, like a yasha shrimp goby.

I think wrasses and blennies are more mid-range dwellers that sometimes swim to the top and bottom. Blennies have tons of personality. I'd go with one of them if you're looking for a more mid range fish.

You need to put a cover on that overflow then you can have any type of reef safe fish you want.

Small peacefull fish

There are lots of safe peacefull fish mostly gobies. Firefish, neon gobies, clown gobies. There is the Rainfordi goby a really nice fish that I got a few weeks ago. If you want to wait a couple months I will probably sell him then because he will have cleaned out my tank of whatever it is he sifts from the sand. Chalk bass are nice and you can have a school of them if you want. All these fish are about 2 inches at the most.
