75 gal stock list

[Kanejr10]

Hello everyone in working on a stock list for my 75 gal display. I have a trigger system emerald 34 sump along with it so roughly 95-100 gal volume. This list I have composed is not in the stock order but general ideas of what I would like. Also some of them will be dependent on others fish. This will be a mixed reef tank.

So far:

2 clowns either snowflake/Picasso/midnight haven't decided.
2-3 ignitus anthias or 2-3 chromis
1 kole or yellow tang (I know little small for yellow but haven't decided based on rarity of koles or my Midas)
1 blue dot jawfish (difficult to keep from what I have read but want to attempt)
1 midas blenny (If jawfish doesn't work out)
1 mandarin
1 wrasse haven't decided on a species(no 6 line though)
Maybe a blue spotted Fiji puffer

Any comments on the list? things that maybe I should look into further?

There's some suggestions in this thread:

Yeah I was reading in that thread. Actually where the kole tang idea came from. I'm looking for more opinions on if the compatability of what I had listed I know the Midas is caution with the jawfish as well as the mandarin but I think that's the only slight problem but the Midas will be dependent on if I can keep a blue dot jawfish alive. Also the puffer will be hit or miss on corals so that's why he has a maybe.

I won't play the tang police. It always gets me in trouble. I will say though that the yellows can get aggressive. And the Mandarin should not be attempted without an at least 6-8 month old tank with a decent sized fuge. Even if it is eating frozen foods, they need to eat all day long.
Just my 2 cents.

Yes the mandarin won't be added for a long time I have a very nice sized fuge that I will be using to help keep pods stable. As for the tang I would guess it should be added last as it will be the largest fish in the tank.

Yup

Anthias can be hard to get eating in an aquarium. Also, they really need to be fed often - they aren't fish you can really feed once a day (I feed mine 3-4 times a day).

I had to start out feeding mine live brine shrimp sold by my LFS. I then transitioned to frozen brine, mysis and other foods (but it now rejects mysis shrimp). In retrospect I probably should've asked to see it feed before I bought it.

The anthias certainly are prettier, but they might be much more work than the chromis (but IME Chromis in numbers don't tend to live long, so maybe consider something else).

As for the Wrasse, Fairy or Flasher wrasses are typically gorgeous and reef safe.

Anthias and chomies get in odd numbers
