Planning out my new build and looking for input on the fish. The tank is going to be a 60"x48"24" set up in a peninsula configuration, roughly 300 gallons without rock/sand. The only fish I'm planning on putting in there from my current tank is my fox face, a school of 5 chromis that actually get along with each other, and a bi color blenny that has a great personality. I'm more about coral so don't know much about the fish side of the hobby so recommendations would be greatly appreciated. I like a lot of color and movement but can appreciate the lazy fish as well - love flame hawk fish.
So far, I know I want:
Fox face - currently have
5 Chromis - Currently have
Bocolor blenny - Maybe?
5-6 tangs - is the tank big enough for this many with the fox face?
3-5 anthias?
2-3 wrasse- can I have this many?
2 fancy clowns
Flame hawk fish - tanks going to be acrylic so snail only clean up crew
File fish or copper band butterfly for aptaisa control
Gobys?
My main rock scape is going to be a minimalist island in the center with plenty of caves and hiding spots. My plan is to keep the perimeter of the tank mostly open for swimming space.
Filtration will be a synergy reef 60" sump with 2 reef roller 1200s and a aquamax cone s q5 skimmer.
All recommendations welcome, even if not on the stocking list since I'm still in the planning phase. Also, recommendations on when to add, I'm going to get 2-3 10-gallon QT tanks and 1 20 gallons for larger fish.
