Need Advice on Stocking List

[runningrandy04]

Hey everyone,
Really looking for some good input on my stocking plans. Any advice or suggestions will be greatly appreciated! It's a 75 gal tank with 80 lbs of dry rock.

Potential Stocking Order (dated in weeks after 3 month cycle)
Week 0 - 2x Nerite, 2x Trochus, 2x Turbo, Tisbe pod suppy, Chaeto for sump
Week 4 - 2x Peppermint Shrimp, 1x Cleaner Shrimp, 3x Yellowstriped Cardinalfish
Week 8 - 1x Royal Gramma Basslet, 1x Carpenter Flasher Wrasse, 1x Brittle Starfish
Are Royal and Flasher able to go through 4 week QT together in a 20 long? (TTM followed by observation)
Week 12 - 2x Picasso Clownfish
Week 16 - 1x Kole Tang
Week 18 - 2x Emerald Crab & additional snails depending on algae level

Would a Redheaded Solon Fairy Wrasse fit into this group as well?

I like the order. One note, cardinals typically survive best as singles or as a mated pair. More often than not 3 will winnow down to 2 or even 1. Again, this is typical but certainly some have been successful with more than 2. Your gamma and wrasse will certainly do well together. I would add a few pieces of pvc piping for hiding spots, and make sure you cover the tank. I am not familiar with the redheaded solon fairy wrasse. Maybe someone else will chime in, or you could ask in the reef fish forum.

Thanks for the reply borderreef,
I really hope that order works out. Huh...Live Aquaria had them as the only fish that easily schoal in a large tank. Have to look into that more. I'm looking to get them as juveniles so they could pair off. Crossing my fingers I don't get all the same sex. I've already inquired about the fairy wrasse through the fish section. I want to add one but more concerned about crowding and depletion of pods. I'll access the fairy wrasses addition after the clowns but before the tang.
