120L Stocking Suggestions

[DB9181]

I keep going back and forth in my mind regarding stocking my 120L (60x18x26) Mixed Reef, thus I'm looking for some input.

Looking for a variety of color, all reef-safe as well as invert safe as I have 5 different species of shrimp.

Tangs:
I already have: ~2'' hippo, ~5-6" D. Sailfin

I'm Interesting in:
Chevron, Brown Powder, Purple - Obviously not adding all 3 of them... I really like PBT but was told it might not get along with the sailfin? (The sailfin was in a 75g with a 4-5" hippo, and purple tang and were all fine), I know purple's tend to be aggressive so it would be added last.

Wrasse:
I already have: 3-3 1/2" mel. wrasse, 2'' Female Blue-Star Leopard (in QT/holding, haven't added her yet)
I'm definitely a wrasse fan, interested in a few more 'cool' ones (that don't completely break the bank)

Angels: Yes i know they are 50/50 reef-safe.... they would be QT'ed...then possibly moved to frag tank (so I can catch them again) to see if they nip softies, then to DT
-Flame Angel
-Coral Beauty or some other colorful dwarf

Others:
-I have a o/w clown and b/w clown - Might think about 'upgrading' them at some point, but they were my original clowns from the get-go.
-Chalk Bass
-Had a Dragon-sleeper Goby...haven't seen him for awhile =/ So possibly another/different sand-swifter
-I'd like a Midas Blenny
-Some form of cool Athnias
-Also would enjoy Copperbanded Butterfly and a Idol (I know they are both tricky)

Completely open to other suggestions - Kind of looking for slightly more 'unique'/colorful options...ie: dragon-sleeper goby vs. yellow watchman..... mel. wrasse vs. yellow coris

I like yellow tang. Yellow fish works really well for reef tank imo.

I personally am a big fan of the chocolate mimic and the convict tangs

I think you should wrasse and not tang...I have the same dilemma. Can't tang without a battle now. PBT can be extra mean. Chalks can be mean. A Midas would be a nice addition but everyone has one

Yellow tangs are awesome, ours is a model citizen. We have a Powder Blue that ended up not staying because it was so aggressive to EVERYONE..

Also if you're a wrasse fan try yellow wrasses. I was lucky enough to get my LFS to find me two so I could determine sex, then keep them in QT together to essentially pair them. I realize they're harem fish, but so far it's been several months and we still have a male and female. They are lively, always moving around, and great pest eaters too! Not to mention, they do not break the bank.

If its a new tank dont add a copperband,it wont survive. They are very fragile.
And I vote wrasses over tangs in a small tank. Check out the fairy wrasses, flashers, etc. royal grama and yellow tang are not hard to find but add alot of color and movement.
