I am looking into adding another fish or two in my tank in the next 2 weeks or so. I know I am getting a Mandarin for sure what else would be a good addition to my tank? Tank is 100 gallon wide mix reef, currently with about just under 80 lbs LR housing a Purple Tang, Tomini Tang and a Tomato. Any input/suggestion is appreciated.

A lot of it depends on what you like. Livequaria.com has a fish compatibility chart which will give you some ideas. Your tangs are going to move around a lot. The mandarin is going to stay near the substrate and rock for the most part.

Are you wanting a fish that will stay in the water column a lot?

Royal Gramma, Blackcap basslet
Six line wrasse, fairy wrasses, flasher wrasses
Flame hawkfish, falco hawkfish
Chromis
Dwarf angels (if you're feeling lucky)

i agree with Curt ;)

it all depends on the type of fish that you want
i say go withe a wrasse, great personality and a lot of color to boot, most like to carpet surf, so you will have to take that into your thought process ;)

I am mainly looking for some bottom dwellers. Something colorful and something that the Mandarin won't have to compete with as far as pods are concern.

Most of the blennies are bottom dwellers, as are many gobies. You could even try for the goby/pistol shrimp combo.
