Hey everyone just wanted to run my current and future stocking plans for my 6 ft 150 gallons reef tank. Here’s the list:

Current:
Ocellaris Clown Pair
Midas Blenny
3 bartletts anthias
Pintail fairy wrasse
Bicolor foxface
2 Barred Rabbitfish

Future:
2-3 benghaai cardinals
Diamond or gold sleeper head goby
Yellow watchman goby with pistol ahrimp
Hippo tang
Powder blue tang
Kole tang
and maybe like 1-2 more wrasses of various kinds

is this too heavy of a load or will I be fine? I plan on adding the tangs last and all at once after they all clear quarantine
 
looks a bit heavy however if it is well cycled and the fish added slowly it should be fine. I might take off a few fish unless you really want all of them. also, the blue tang is a bit large for a 150g however it would be fine for a few years and even after that it would probably be ok.
 
I don’t think that your tank is large enough for a hippo tang or a powder blue. You already have 9 fish and three get readable large. The kole tang should be OK. Cardinals and gobies should be fine. You could think of a blenny. With wrasses, you might get aggression problems among them.
