265g stocking list

[xkon]

A few weeks ago I got my 265g (84x24x30) acrylic tank set up and running. I have a 75g sump with a Reef Octopus 200int skimmer and pondmaster mag24 return pump. In the tank I have one MP40QD and a jebao wp40 powerhead and seem to be getting a nice flow in the tank. Lighting is two 32" reef breeder photon LED.

In QT I currently have a 3" orange spot rabbitfish and 2 1/2" blueface angel. They are on their second round of prazipro at the moment as I discovered the angel had flukes.

In a separate QT I have two frostbite clowns about 1-1 1/2" that I just dosed prazipro with as a preventative treatment.

I am not 100% sure where I want to take this tank as far as other fish and possibly reef. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I imagine you would want a couple of tangs, butterflies and some wrasses

I did just pick up a Squaretail bristletooth tang yesterday. Would like to add another tang but not sure what kind. I like the Blue Caribbean tang and purple tang but I am not sure about their aggression unless I find them small in the same size range as the fish I currently have.

I have a 265. Yellow tang. Hippo and purple in there with no problems. Also a clarkii clown, royal gramma, some blue chromis, a few anthias. I'll be adding maybe one more tang. I've tried other fish over the years but they either got bullied or nipped on coral

What fish was doing the bullying typically?

As far as I know the Purple tang are usually aggressive but Blue Caribbean should be ok
