As those who follow this thread know, I do not provide recommendations for a variety of reasons, the most important of which is that you need to learn to research possible fish acquisitions. However once you have a plan, I am always happy to review that plan before you purchase, for behavioral compatibility and for compatibility with the environment you are providing.

72"x36"x20" Dream Tank
72"x36"x20" Dream Tank
72x36x20 SPS dominated tank with lots of flow: with two MP60s and three MP40s in the back.
48"x24"x20" custom sump
Minimal aquascape in DT (about 60-80lbs of Marco dry rocks)
x6 MarinePure Ceramic Biomedia 8x8x4 blocks in sump
SRO-8000Int or Bubbleking Supermarin 300 skimmer
Emperor UV 40Watt
JBJ 1/3rd HP
Dream Fish list:
Snowflake clownfish pair
Sharknose goby
Starry Blenny
Helfrichi Firefish
Blackcap Basslet
Lineatus wrasse- x2 (both females)
Flame wrasse- x2 (both females)
Black Tang
Achilles Tang
I'm planning on introducing the tangs together, and both will be about 3-4"
Is this a good idea or should I introduce separate? If so, which one should go first?
(I will QT for a minimum of 6 weeks and have an Elite Aquatics acclimation box for every new fish introduced)
Thank you for your help!

Quick question: Diver's Den is selling a couple different trios of cardinal fish (ORA black trio and red striped trio). Will those survive as a trio or will they end up as one (in a 55 gal DT)?
I like the idea of a trio of cardinal fish (one or the other trio), but I don't want to buy a trio and end up with one.
In case you need it for the question, my 55 gal DT is currently fish less and I have 2 ocellaris clown in QT for 2 more weeks, and a helfrichi fire fish in a 2nd QT for another 3 weeks. if I got the pair of cardinal fish, I would put them in a 3rd 20 gal QT.
Thanks!

cardinals do not have the issue of the dominant fish killing off the rest. With a trio, you are likely to have two pair off, however. However, with Bangaii cardinals only a male plus female will work.

Will a pair of Flame Wrasse or Pink Margin Wrasse work in a 36x20x21 65 gallon? They'd be stocked with 2 Percs, Firefish, Watchman Goby w/ pistol and 2 cleaner shrimp. I'd only be doing 1 pair of wrasses, not both.
If not are there any wrasse you'd suggest? My fall back is a pair of Carpenter's Wrasse.

29 gallon FOWLR and a sump
Thinking about
3x Pajama Cardinals
Bicolor Blenny
Cleaner shrimp
Matted Filefish
Is this also the correct order I should place them in?
Thanks again!

A LFS has a male and female Pylei's Fairy Wrasse and recommended them as peaceful. Any thoughts on these?
tank size? tank inhabitants? Females always tend to be more aggressive. Middle of the road on aggression scale depending on what else is in the tank.

This is the 65g with 2 Percs, watchman w/pistol, firefish and skunk cleaners. I'm looking into the fairy wrasses because I'm having a hard time finding female flasher wrasses and the fairies are a bit more colorful IMO. Just need them to be peaceful as to hopefully not bother my fire fish. This fire fish is actually pretty bold (hand in the tank doesn't bother it), don't want to mess that up.
Amended fish list with tank specs
Amended fish list with tank specs
This is what I got.
Equipment
- 266 liter (~ 70 gal) Glass overflow style tank (90cm x 45cm x 60cm)
- ~31 gal sump 3 chamber
- Coralife Super Skimmer with Pump
- Miracle Mud refuge (looking to possibly add Maiden's Hair Plant (Chlorodesmis sp.) since it is the only macro-algae type I can get at the LFS.
- Hydor 740 Universal Pump - 740 gph - Original Seltz L40
- Coralife Lunar Aqualight High Output T5 Quad Lamp Fixture
- Hydor Koralia Magnum Circulation Pump
- Cooler (not sure of the specs was sold to me by the fish store. The part I could read said up to 700gal I believe)
Substrate
- Approx. 15 kg (~33 lbs) live rock
- Natures Ocean Live Aragonite Reef Sand (180 lbs w/ 16 lbs of reef substrate)

You will have to forgive me, but going back between posts is not feasible for me. I do thousands of these and just cannot remember any post previously posted. So for questions, I need the tank and specs, and the potential stocking. I am going to hope that this is what you are asking about.
