Stocking question

Hello all,

I am currently cycling my new 210 reef. My goal is to house a few clams, some soft coral, and some LPS. I am running 250MH X3, 216w t5, Aquamedic Turbofloter 1000, about 1800gph through overflow, and two Hydor koralia 3 )800gph). My sump is a 135 with 50% dedicated to refugium. My proposed stocking list is following. Are there any major concerns if I add all the con specific tangs at once, and spread the stocking to allow for system equalization.

Stocking list
1) ORA BLACK & WHITE CLOWNFISH "“ AQUACULTURED - and anemone
2) ORA TRUE PERCULA CLOWNFISH "“ AQUACULTURED - and anemone
3) FLAME ANGELFISH
4) Blue Reef Chromis (5)
5) One Spot Foxface
6) Diamond Watchman Goby
7) Bluehead Fairy Wrasse
8) Powder Blue Tang
9) BLUE HIPPO TANG
10) Blue Caribbean Tang
11) Kole Yellow Eye Tang
12) Naso Tang
13) Yellow Tang (3)
 
The powder blue and yellow are both the most aggressive.I wouldn't keep a trio in your tank.
 
A trio of yellow tangs that is,sorry.And maybe swap the chromis for a group of royal gramma,or Anthias maybe?
 
IME the Caribbean blue tang is more aggressive than the other tangs on your list and should be added toward the end, perhaps at the same time as the powder blue.

Blue reef chromis need frequent feedings but are great as a group in a large tank.
 
Clams need pristine water, like the SPS. I think 6 tangs give too much bioload. The flame angel is likely to nip LPS.
 
Too many tangs for a 210g long term. Your clowns will be the most aggressive fish around presumably will be the anemones. The naso should be left out and if you get a PBT you will be left 1 or two smaller tangs like a bristle tooth of some sort. Acanthurus tangs are by far the most aggressive tangs in the hobby
