150G reef tank stocking advice

[pyithar]

hi. my tank's 48" long, 24"wide and 30" height with a 50G sump, 20G fuge and 250 lb liverock. i have some LPS and softies, no SPS.
fishwise, i currently have:

a pair of ocellaris clowns
two McCosker flasher wrasses
a bicolor blenny
a foxface lo (is the tank too small for him? he's about 3" now)
a kole tang (i guess he's ok? he's also about 3")

would i be able to add:
a yellow tang if tank size is ok
a firefish (not a must)
a banggai cardinal (not a must)
a royal gramma (not a must)
a midas blenny (not a must)
and a mandarin (next year) and that'll be all.

please note that i need to buy fish from another country so returning them to fish store option doesn't work for me. also it'll be at least 3 years before i upgrade my tank to a 7 or 8 footer.

thanks for ur advices in advanced!

I don't see why you couldn't, only thing is the tang compatibility and having an established pod population for the mandarin. Other than that... the rest are small peaceful fish.

Yeah good idea to wait a year for the pod population and everything seems compatible nice list!

250 lbs of LR in the main display? Is there room for fish to swim?

The foxface will get big and with the yellow tang, or any zebrasoma tang for that matter will probably result in fighting. My desjaradini and foxface got along fine in my 220g until they both got about 5-6" then the fighting started.

thank you guys. i've also asked snorvich, and i've decided to drop the yellow tang and the midas blenny from that list. i also wanted to keep a CBB for aiptasia control but i need to choose between Copperband butterfly and mandarin.
to CoralsAddiction, the display tank is very open imo. when i aquascaped it, i considered maninly for the swimming space because my tank is only 4 foot, but it's a tall tank(30 inches). i put the rocks in my sump as much as i could. i also don't have the in sump skimmer.

I followed the 1lb per gallon rule in my 4ft 60 gallon and there wasn't very much room to swim. I had to donate 10lbs of LR to make more room. But your tank is deep and easier to aquascape.
