220 fowlr

[smazzuca_34]

Hey everyone I am in the process of setting up a 220 FOWLR with 400 pounds LR and was wondering your suggestions on the fish that I was planning on putting in the aquarium.
1)Emperor Angel
2)Blue tang
3)2 Percula Clowns
4) 2 Red Sea Butterflies
5) Moorish Idol
6)Mystery Wrasse
These were my suggestions if I were not to go with a predatorial type FOWLR. I was wondering what your opinions were? What order should I add them in? and Is this aquarium large enough for the long run? All comments or critiisms are welcomed!!
Thank You very much!

Long term the emperor will outgrow it. Blue tangs can be aggressive, and I'm sure you know the track record of Moorish idols. What butterfly are you looking at? Red sea racoon?

As far as order goes, I'd say clowns, wrasse, idol, butterfly, angel, tang.

Just to second that the emperor angel will grow to be to big for your 220g with standard dimesions

And secondly unless you have access to provide a diet rich in sponge....I would highly recommend doing alot of research before obtaining the Moorish idol....

order should be like what crabber said...depending on the relative size of the emperor and tang...

Blue Hep Tang or Atl/carribean Blue Tang?

My last Atl blue tang who was maybe 8in long killed a fuscus trigger who was similar size. The tang was a new addition to the tank...... not always mean buy man was that one mean.....

I am talking about the blue hiipo tang, and the golden red sea butterfly.I dont know if that would change anything you had posted earlier/ Also, I have done quite a bit of research on the moorish idol and I actually have a neighbour who has had one for quite a few months now. Thanks for all the advice, anymore would be greatly appreciated.

Blue Hep tangs will be fine..... my experience is they seem to be more of a ich magnet then powder blue's but they do not get huge, swim all the time or have a attitude like a Atl blue tang.
