Hey guys. I am getting ready to set up my first ever reef tank. It will be a rectangular (not sure of exact dimensions) 120 gallon tank. I am pretty set on this list of fish but I need some help from more experienced people and want some opinions on whether this is a good fish stock. Heres the list of the fish I hope to add:
-(2) Occellaris Clownfish (1 normal, 1 black & white) - Max size: 3"
-(1) Powder Blue Tang - Max Size: 9"
-(1) Yellow Tang - Max Size: 8"
-(1) Whitecheek Tang - Max Size: 8"
-(1) Schooling Bannerfish - Max Size: 8.5"
-(5) Bartlett's Anthias (1 male, 4 female) - Max Size: 3.5"
-(1) Scott's Fairly Wrasse (Fiji) - Max Size: 6"
-(1) Whip Fin Fairy Wrasse - Max Size: 3.5"
-(1) Neon Damselfish - Max Size: 2.5"
-(1) Coral Beauty Anglefish - Max Size: 4"
So that's the plan. Obviously I wouldn't add all these fish at once. I'd probably start with just the two clownfish and maybe the damsel, then put the three tangs in, and so on. Do you guys think all these fish would get along fairly well and it's the right amount of fish for a 120g, and that all these fish would have enough swimming room and not get stressed too easy? I picked fish that all (according to LiveAquaria) have a minimum tank size of under 125 gallons.
Also, I want a clean up crew as well. Does anyone know how many and what kind of shrimp, hermit crabs, and snails I should get? And lastly, what corals are the best for beginners? Thanks.
