As those who follow this thread know, I do not provide recommendations; however I am always ready to provide analysis of a fish list provided. However if you want to keep more than one tang in a 180 gallon tank, your best options are from the Ctenochaetus family.

I would like to add a yellow banded possum wrasse.
I would like to add a yellow banded possum wrasse.
I would like to add a yellow banded possum wrasse to my 24 gallon nanocube. I currently have a peppermint shrimp, perc clown fish, royal gramma, yellow watchman goby and tiger pistol shrimp. I also have few snails (astrea and turbo) and hermit crabs. Do you think I will have a problem adding the possum wrasse?

hi steve!
i have a 29g with 35lbs lr, a large cave and several small caves. right now i have one tailspot blenny, 2 nassarius and 3 blue legged hermits. this is my wish list in the order i expect to add...
pair helfrichs firefish
small fairy or flasher wrasse
perc clown
one fireshrimp
would this work? i expected the blenny to be a mostly sand dweller but that is not the case. he has chosen a spot high up on the rockwork and stays up there. so i'm wondering if i can add a bottom dweller to the list, and do you have a suggestion? i was thinking a scooter dragonet.
tank is only about 2 months old and i do not run a skimmer or any other filtration. just ph's and wc's. i do run an hob with carbon during wc's to help remove gunk.
thanks!

Hey, brand new to Reef Central. I have a fluval osaka 260l. I have 70 lbs of live rock with a 3" live sand bed. Need some stocking ideas I am new to saltwater. I plan on doing a reef tank down the line, but my light needs to be upgraded and I need a protein skimmer.
I currently have:
2 True Perculas
4 Turbo Snails
4 Cerith Snails
7 Small Assorted Hermit Crabs
4 Electric Blue Hermit Crabs
Wanting:
1 shrimp/prawn goby with pistol shrimp
1 lawnmower blenny
1 wrasse
1 blue/green chromis
1 royal gramma
1 kole tang
Would pairing a shrimp/prawn goby with a pistol shrimp cause any aggression towards others?
What wrasse would you recommend?
Would this be fine? Would I be able to put anything else in? If so, what else would be good? What order should I get them in? I have been told that I should put most aggressive last.
My goal is to have a nice peaceful tank with the Kole tang as my show piece.
Help would be greatly appreciated.

It is a 70 gallon.
I am looking at one of the following wrasses:
Carpenter's Flasher
Blue Flasher
Filamented Flasher
McCosker's Flasher
Would all of these be compatible with what I want in the tank?
I am thinking I am going to do this

Would getting them in that order work?
Would that max out my bio load or would I be able to add anything else?
Thanks for your help

Thanks for the input. As far as the Blennys are concerned the plan was only for one; I'm just undecided between the Sailfin and the Starry at this point.
Are there any fish on the list that should be added in a specific spot in the order?
Also, between the Anthias and the Wrasse which do you think would fit better into the above group?
