I have a 150 bow front reef soft/lps. I was hoping evryone could give me some suggestions on fish to go in it.
My want list is from most wanted to least:
alkalies tang
flam angel (know it is a 50/50 shot but there is a LFS that is willing to trade it out till I find one that is good)
picasso clown
mandarin gobi
purple tang
regale tang

For the purpus of what they do:
Cleaner shrimp
coral banded
six line wrasse
cleaner wrasse

Now I am not going to get all of these but any suggestions on what to/not to get? any other recommendations?
 
First, the cleaner wrasse is a bad idea, as they almost always die from starvation within a few months. Also, the coral banded shrimp is pretty aggressive and may not tolerate the cleaner shrimp. I'd stay with the cleaner if it were me.

Regarding the fish, I have an achilles in my 150, and it is by far the most active fish in the tank. It is also, and will continue to be, the only surgeonfish I have in a tank this size. If you want an achilles, and understand how demanding they can be, I would recommend against the other two tangs, specifically the regal tang. They are both very active fish that will probably be too much in a tank of that size.
