Hello all, I am looking for some advice.
I have a 175 60"x24" that has just completed cycle a week ago. I have added two clowns to the tank and everything is doing well.
I am looking for advice on my stock list and the order in which to add to the tank. I will be running a month long QT on everything in a 40 breeder. Advice on which would be good to QT together would be appreciated as well.

Midnight Clown Amphiprion ocellaris
Wyoming White Clown Amphiprion ocellaris

Clown Goby, Yellow Gobiodon okinawae
Fathead Sunburst Anthias Serranocirrhitus latus
(Pair) Orchid Dottyback Pseudochromis fridmani
(5 or maybe more?) Lyretail Anthias Pseudanthias squamipinnis
White Tail Bristletooth Tang Ctenochaetus flavicauda
(Pair) Blue Star Leopard Wrasse Macropharyngodon bipartitus

I would like to add another tang (am not sure which) and a mandarin eventually as well.
 
1. Fathead anthias and lyretail anthias

2.clown goby and dottybacks

3. Wrasses

4. Tang
Shiv, you would run these in 4 separate QT cycles? Just wanted to make sure I understood correctly.
Also, for the sake of learning, would you care to explain your logic and reasoning behind this order?

Thank you for the advice!

Not different at cycles you could do 1 and 2 together and 3 and 4 together but I just did 4 in case you wanted to do 4 and I'd put the anthias in first so they get established and start eating the foods you want them too and because of their need for multiple feedings so they won't have any other fish to compete with like the wrasses and then the dottybacks and clown gobies because they're the next shy fish and then wrasses because they're the second aggressive out of your whole plan and then the tangs and I'd add both at the same time to avoid aggression and the mandarin can go in anytime as long as there is an ample food source for it to feed of.

Thank you for taking the time to break it down!
