Hi all, I want to get peoples opinions and/or advise on stocking my mixed reef system. It is a 75g tank 48"x18"x20" it is cycled, lighting is 4 bulb T5 HO ATI bulbs, skimmer, UV sterilizer, 2 reactors, carbon and GFO, 3 inch sand and gravel bed. I've included a pic of the system that was taken today. It is mixed LPS and assorted softies, I'll be adding a Hammer coral and Trumpet coral tomorrow to go along with the Frogspawn and Brain corals on the LPS side. Right now I have a Maroon clown, and a Coral beauty that doesn't bother the corals at all (thank goodness) along with a cleaner shrimp and assorted clean up crew. Here is the list of what I would like to add over the next few months gradually, please feel free to contribute any and all constructive criticism, advise or opinions. Also I need to know what order if any to add the fish, if I do end up getting the purple dottyback it would go in last unless some tells me why otherwise. So here is the list.

Kole Tang 1

6 line wrasse 2

Yellow flanked fairy wrasse 1

Anthias 2 please make suggestions on which Anthias would work well here

Purple Dottyback 1

Thank you!

I would skip the 6 line wrasse, every one I've ever owned eventually went rouge and had to be removed from my tanks after killing tank mates. They seem to be okay when they are young, but eventually they become very aggressive. Same with the purple dottyback, not quite as bad as a 6 line, but another aggressive fish. Lyretail, Bartletts or Dispar would be the easiest to keep.
 
Thanks thegrun, I figured out where to post this finally within this forum, yes I see now that the 6 lines are not a good idea, I've had the purple dotty back in the past and it wasn't aggressive but that surely doesn't mean another wouldn't be, that's why I thought maybe adding it last.
