Stocking my 180 help

[jonnyu]

So I am wanting to stock my tank with fish before I place any corals. I so far have the following fish
Spotted Rabbit fish
Magnificent foxface
Tomini tang
4 clownfish

I want fish that school. I love anthias. So want to see what you all recommend.
I'm thinking maybe 8 purple queen anthias and then maybe 8 lytail anthias.
I want to do a naso with streamers
I like wrasses but kind of want ones that do not fight with each other. I really want bright fish and stuff that catches your eye.
Here is a pic of my the tank

I think you should remove either a rabbit fish or the foxface. I would just keep one of the two. I also think that Naso is going to be too big for your tank.
Smaller tangs like Yellow, Purple, Powder blue would be great in your tank. Regal angels, and Flame angels recommended. You are likely to need a lot more rock and caves so smaller fishes more comfortable. Unless you want to feed 3+ times a day, Anthias is not a good idea. I never keep Purple Queen, but I keep a shoal of Lyetail. I feed twice a day and my group of 5 slowly died over several years until one left. In my tank, it is the male that died. He worry and chase the females too much and just does not eat enough. Alter the initial male died, the next female turn male and then died. Mine died over 4-6 months until l I have the last fish, which was the smallest initially.

I think the queens are very hard to keep. Why not lyretail or bartlett's? Angels would be cool. Just wanted to chime in-your rock work is SWEET!

Thanks for the feed back. Just happen to love the color of the purple queen. I think I'm going to have to stay clear of them now after hearing from a few people they are really hard to keep. I like the lyretail and Bartlett anthias as well. I installed a good size skimmer knowing I'm going to have a heavy bioload. I just seen a potter angel and really liked it. As well the LFS has two swallow tail angels. Do you think all three would get along? The zebra swallow tails are a matter pair. Also like the sunburst anthias.
