I have a 6 foot 125 Gal 24 inches tall with a deep sand bed and about 100 to 125 LBS of rock for structure and plan on SPS and maybe some softies. Lighting I think since I have it on hand will be Two 400 Watt MH with 2 20K XM Bulbs.
Current Fish in Tank are a Bristletooth Tomini Tang and a Yellow Tang.
So the question is what if any other fish should I add to the tank that would benefit the tank itself? I might be wrong in this assumption but I would think it best not to add anything to a Tank that will not benefit the tank.

Well two tangs is pushing it a bit for that sized tank. Additional fish need to be small and not algae grazers. That yellow tang will not be happy with any additions of any size.
Sorry but I not provide commentary on predator tanks, especially when existing fish need a larger tank than that provided.

The above was what I have as a wish list. I was just wondering if that would work?? So I would need a bigger tank?? I was told by my lfs a Fu manchu lion would be fine in that tank. Is the eel also to big ???
Both are too big and require more space. I would be leery of listening to that LFS; they sell fish, not provide advice.

Thanks Snorvich good point. I think I will try another lfs and continue to seek advice on here. So im thinking there is no predator fish that are small??

So for the benefit of the Tank just leave the Two Tangs that I have now in the tank with no other fish?
Not true. If I were going to have a species tank, I would look at frogfish. Much, much more interesting than what the suggested and there are a lot of relatively small ones that would work.
No, not necessarily so. However you added the wrong fish first. You need to look at small fish that are interesting .

110G w/ 40G Sump this is what I am considering;
3x Bangaii Cardinalfish
Starry Blenny
ORA Mandarin (hopefully in a year )
Splendid Dottyback
Red Head Solon Fairy Wrasse
Clown Goby, Green
Friend is dismantling her fish tank and has offered me a yellow tang and two azure damsels. Good start, some healthy fish for cheap. These three would be the first ones in.

Thank You but maybe I asked the question wrong. What Fish would be good for the tank?

Planning a tank, want some fish compatibility advice.
26g reef tank - LPS, Soft Corals
1x Firefish
1x Ocellaris Clownfish
+1 Pick from these:
"¢ Kaudern's Cardinal
"¢ Bicolor Dottyback
"¢ Six Line Wrasse
"¢ Spotted Mandarin
"¢ Yellow-tail Damselfish
"¢ Green Clown Goby
"¢ Court Jester Goby
"¢ Prawn Goby (Yellow or Orange Stripe)
I've heard iffy things about some of these species, particularly the dottyback and wrasse. I'll probably steer clear from those. I really like the cardinal though, if he's a good option.

They MAY be healthy, depending on her quarantine protocol. A yellow tang should be added last and I would not recommend damsels as they too are aggressive
Unfortunately, for many reasons, I do not do recommendations. I would be happy to provide commentary on any stocking ideas, however.
