So I'm planning a mostly fish tank. I plan to add reef safe guys and then start adding in the coral after a year or so once I get everything rather stable. I'll either get a 6' 180 or a 6' 220/240 (just greater depth - maybe 24" or 30" but still around 24" high).
For coral I'm not really stuck on any particular species, so I'll stock whatever the fish will allow.
Right now I'm interested in tangs being my centerpieces.
If I get one sohol *or* maybe 2 hippo tangs will I be able to keep at least the following tank mates (seem like I should - just checking)
1. Maybe 4 clown fish
2. Flame Angel
The rest of the list is rather flexible and I can do with only that list of guys in the tank. Other species would be nice but I'm not set on anybody else.
A butterfly fish or two would be nice, maybe some other schooling fish but I will NOT stock too many fish - only what can reasonably fit with my minimum list above.
As for corals and inverts, I'd like to at least have a cleaner shrimp or clam or two as well. I'd really like a Harlequin Wrasse but I'd rather have a well-rounded tank with corals and a few inverts.
Am I on the right track here?
