newbie, setting up mixed reef 120 gallon, cycling with 100 lbs live rocks and 120 lbs live sands. 40 gallon sumps with skimmer.

thinking to stock the following fishes:
1 Regal Blue Tang (comes with the tank)
1 yellow tang
1 percula or oscelaris clown
1 royal gramma
1 firefish
1 banggai cardinal

Thinking 1 or 2 more fishes with bright colors, any suggestions? Are these too much fishes?
Is water temp 76-77 enough or need higher?

Thanks all
 
i would only go with one tang in that size of a tank. the minimum requirements for the regal blue tang is 180 gallons. see if someone else will take it. the yellow tang will be fine. i think a dwarf angel would do well in there. you could add a damsel also. just be sure to add them last because they can be aggressive

water temp 76-77 will be fine, as long long as you are talking about fahrenheit

That's a few fish too many. The Blue Tang needs 240 gallons and 8 ft, Yellow Tang needs a 5 footer (http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1946079). You're better off with a smaller easier Tang, like a Kole. Your other choices are somewhat small and really beginner. Once you've had them for a while, you'll want fish with more interesting colors and behavior.
