Hi everybody

Just some background ive got a 600L(150gal)- 5ftx2ftx2ft) with appox 50 Kgs of live rock (sorri im an Aussie dunno what the conversion into pounds is).

Tank has cycled added 4 blue green chromis & a blue starfish a week ago.
Yesterday added a black sea cucumber couple snails & a hermit.

Ive got a small green algae problem managable but is a pain in the *** and was wondering if i could add some more livestock to help out.

The LFS had a selection of healthy looking fish in different variety.

I know tangs are good with algea and beautiful addition to any aquarium but was told that if i want to add more than one tang in my tank that i shud do so all at once.

My ideal stock is as follows


4 bluegreen chromis
2 serbai clowns
3 fire dartfish
1 flame angel
1 coral beauty
1 yellow tang mayb another tang if im safe
3 bangaii cardinals
1 auriga or yellow longnose butterfly

not planning any corals just inverts such as a anemone that the serbai can host in

mayb something hard later on which the angels and butterfly cant touch

i want to add a shrimp aswell any suggestions?

Anyone see any problems ?

And when and what should i add in next to ease any possible agression towards each other.

Also will i be overstocked ?

Thanks

Nick
 
wells. im not sure putting a coral beauty and a flame angel in a 150G is a good idea. plus they both pick on corals if u planning to get any later (i dunno if coral is allowed in australia). watch out wit butterfly as well. I personally like the copperbanded butterfly. had a longnose but it was mean. get some hermits and snails and conches for the algae. tangs arent that great for microalgae.
