Stocking plan for a 120g

[Grebex11]

The tank is 120g as stated. 5 ft long, not sure of the other dimensions off hand. Filtration is still being worked on... but some type of external skimmer maybe one of the Octos, still deciding. Also 2 HOB filters rated for a 75g and 100 lbs+ of LR. Could all of these be kept in my 120 reef? Which should I add first to last?

3 anthias (either bartlett's or lyretail)
Pair of Ocellaris
Yellow Clown Goby
High-fin red banded goby
Purple tang or yellow tang (1 of these, not sure which yet)
Powder blue tang or blue tang (1 of these)

You could add 2, 3 &4 anytime. I do not think I would take a chance on the powder blue if I wanted to play it safe.

A tang in a newly established tank is not a great idea. A powder blue in that sized tank is problematical.

for tangs i woulod go purple, naso and if you wanted a third something like a kole or a chevron, all3 from different genius, the powders get pretty large for that tank

A naso does not begin to fit into that sized tank. Chevrons are nice as are koles.

Ok, Maybe I will do the purple tang and the blue (hippo) tang with the other fish listed. Would that be a problem? Could my tank handle this amount of fish? Could it handle more?

A hepatus tang will get very large very quickly. A one foot fish in a five foot tank seems to be a misfit.
