240G Fish List Help

[GARY666772]

i am in the process of cycling my new 240 gallon (96"x 24"x 24"). The plan is to be SPS dominate reef. Looking for suggestions on fish list and possible additions to list, all need to be reef safe. i currently have 3 fish that i know should be added last but i got to good of a deal on them that i have already gotten them, they are in QT at the moment and will be put in a bigger side tanks till ready to add them.
Already have:
-1 Gem Tang
-1 Sohal Tang
-1 Achilles Tang
-Pair Lightning Maroons​
Fish Ideas & Likes
-1 Achilles Hybrid Tang
-1 Powder Blue Hybrid Tang
-Purple Tang
-3 yellow Tangs
-Magnificent Rabbit
-Pair Flame Wrasse
-Black Leopard Wrasse
-Blue Star Leopard Wrasse
-Mystery Wrasse
-Radiant Wrasse
-Pair Red Tailed Tamarin​
My thoughts were to add at least 3 yellow tangs in to act as distractions for the other tangs to help break up the tang aggression. I love wrasses and would like to keep an assortment. The fish ideas and likes are not necessarily are all fish I would like to keep and a reference of fish i like. so i realize i may not be able to keep all of them in same tank. Thoughts on list? Additions? Suggestions?
Thank you in advance

In terms of tangs, this sounds like a recipe for disaster. 9 tangs, from only two different genera, and arguably some of the most aggressive tangs there are. I have never had a sohal, kbut from my understanding 240 is too small. Eventually it will probably take out your other fish.. I will let someone else answer about wrasses, I only have a melanurus and 6-line.

I would say take it slow and don't add any tangs for a while; if you decide to, maybe look at a different genus. You could also look at angels, pyramid butterflies, anthias and a bunch of small fish. I think you'll be surprised how fast your tank fills up, you listed 10 big fish, which is too much in a 240 IMO. Obviously at the end of the day it's up to you.

Good luck and post some pictures when you get your tank running!

Sohal tank needs to come off the list. You need to choose 1 out of the 3 between the Achilles, Achilles Hybrid, and the PB Hybrid. Only 1 yellow tang. Way too many tangs and herbivores on that list. Here's the Tang list for my 240, Purple, Yellow, Lieutenant, Chocolate Mimic, and a Chevron (all on the smaller size for Tangs).
