Upgrading reef.

i've found a 4x1.5x1.5 66 gallon tank for sale.

What fish are able to fit in this, I've been thinking of removing most all of my old fish and collecting a new bunch that includes.

Bristle tooth tang

A fox face

Zebra goby school

Snowflake eel

Valentini Pufferfish

Possibly a Mandarin Goby

I'll probably be keeping my splendid dottyback and lawn mower blenny.

Removing my 2 clownfish, 2 vanderbuilt chromis and pyjama cardinal.

Would these be fine?

All my equipment scales and the equipment that doesn't should be upgraded with the new tank i'm getting.
 
I would skip the Fox Face, to me they are just too aggressive in a smaller tank. I suspect the golby will be a quick lunch for the eel, and even if it does not eat it you need to be sure you have a lot of pods before you add it to the tank. A tight cover is a must with the eel.
 
Tank is small for a Tang or Foxface. 5 or 6 foot long tank would be the right size for them. Is that puffer considered feed safe? I'd check on that. The mandarin needs s mature tank with plenty of food of course and am thinking it may end up as eel food too?
 
When talking about foxface I meant Siganus unimaculatus not the larger species, does this make any difference? What about things like anthias.

Like the other said. Tang and Foxface are not suitable for your tank size. You could get away with it if you get them as juvenile. But will definitely need to be re-home once they are mature. I have seen people have them in small tank and appears to be healthy and happy. However, it's just not fair to see them in a small space. Just my opinion :)
