Ideas Wanted For A New Tall 60 Gallon

So if anyone read my previous post about the new copperband butterfly fish, he is doing well in my other tank (a 75). I moved my yellow tang and bicolor angel back into the 75 as well and now all three are getting along fine. Everyone is eating well and there is no sign of aggression.

Now I have a 60 gallon with some live rock and some dried corals and a crushed coral substrate. And no fish! Since I started it with 1/2 old tank water, 1/2 old filter media and the live rock it still had to cycle but it had a little start. I am going to wait to put any living thing in the tank and keep testing the water.

It is a pretty tall narrow tank, four feet long. Any ideas for what would go good in there? Some ideas I've been considering are a sea horse tank if I can find enough dried corals (or nice looking artificial corals or plants) that are tall enough for this tank. And add a lot of live rock.

Perhaps a puffer tank ? Just spotted puffers and rock.I have considered a brackish tank but really like a lot of live rock. I would LOVE a tank with condy anemones...but that would never work since the tank is so tall it would be difficult to have enough light reach the bottom. Ideas anyone?

Well, I have done some more research and decided against sea horses. Really, everything I do doesn't have to be difficult. Since occasionally I have to travel and have a pet sitter, maybe sea horses aren't for me.
Perhaps a brackish tank with spotted scats and spotted puffers? I could still keep some rock and certainly the crushed coral substrate and the dried coral for decoration. Brackish fish are pretty easy to keep happy and keep fed. Any ideas for what might look nice in there for plant life if any would work?
