New build = new bioload suggestions

[The_Crabman]

Hi all

I'm putting together a new build and would like input on what fish would be awsome in a sps reef setup.
The display is a standard 120 (4'x2'x2') and once fully stocked it will be mostly SPS with a few LPS.
I have a great skimmer and will be running biopellets so there will be a need for losts of "fish poop"

I currently have no fish that will be going into the new system so I would like ideas on a complete bioloadas I'm trying to plan ahead.

I would like to get a breed of fish that shoals. Like maybe a shoal of Anthias. I know that they are high maintenance but I'm up for it.
I would also like a "reef safe" angel if its possible to find at my lfs.
I would possibly like a Tang of some sort but not something common.

Basically I would like suggestions of colorful, medium maintenance, non aggressive, uncommon and cool looking fish.

Please suggest common names as its eaiser to google for pics.

Thanks
D

I have a similar setup but my tank is 6 feet long. With only 4 feet, your choice of tangs is going to be limited. A kole tang would probably do alright though. Angelfish can be troublemakers in a reef but I have a bellus angel that hasn't picked at any corals. I also have chromis, anthias, cardinals and a wrasse. If you get anthias, be sure to feed often. As far as what species of fish you should keep...well, that's a matter of personal preference I suppose. Why not go to one of the online retailers websites like liveaquaria or bluezoo and read about different fish?

I'm setting up a very similar setup (4'x22"x2' - so a 110gal)

I'm looking at stocking a Tomini Tang, a Bellus or Wantanabe Female Angle (Genicanthus - seems to be reef safe) then several gobies/blennies. (Ranging from Scissortail Gobies to Yashas to Firefish to Tailspot Blennies - I haven't solidified that quiet yet)

What about Threadfin Cardinals (Also called Blue-Streak Cardinal- A. leptacanthus)? They hover more around the liverock instead of open water swimming.

For cool/uncommon fish - Masuda's Hogfish (A little more on the aggressive side) Black-cap Basslet, Green Banded Goby (Seem to be hard to find/seasonal), Chalk Bass, etc

A school of Dispar anthias would look nice. I love my tail-spot blennie. Great personality; always hopping from one resting spot to another.

However, as previously mentioned, it's really a matter of personal preferences.
