What to add first?

[stump1998]

I need some opinions on what order I should add my stock list? Some quick info on tank:
600 gallon tank with 550 pounds of rock. System is close to 750 gallons with sump and fuge. Here is my proposed stock list:

Yellow Tang - 3
Purple Tang - 3
Naso Tang - 1
Blue Tang - 1
Zebra Moray - 1
Blue Throat Trigger - Pair
Queen Angelfish - 1

Not too awful constructive, but if you're going to spend that kind of money on fish I'd advise you upgrade to crosshatches.

aaaa well hmmm i guess your best bet is to add the triggers first or zebra moray, then naso or blue tang (im assuming its going to be smaller then the naso) and then try to add the purple and yellow at the same time.

Very simple. Add all the yellows and purples last (at the same time). Add the other fish first and let them set their hiding spots and get situated in the new tank. Then put the zebras tangs last.

Instead of like 3 purples I would consider getting 3 differnt tangs. Like a purple, achilles, and powder blue. Got to love the Achilles tangs! GL!

QT QT QT QT QT everything

I would add them in the order that you can find good, quality specimins.

I have kept mutiple purples in with other zebrasoma and they get along fine if you keep them well fed. If you try and starve them, they will get aggressive and pick on the new fish. You don't want them to feel that their tankmates are competition for food.

The queen will eat most coral - keep this in mind if you want any coral.
