180 Gallon fish stocking suggestions

[Dewey Howell]

I am planning a 180 gal reef setup. It will have at least 300 lbs of live rock and a large sump with refugium. Mostly softies, LPS and a anemone.

I was thinking about the following list of fish.

1 midas blenny
1 royal gramma
1 watchman gobies
2 clown gobies
2-3 banggai cardinals
4-6 lyretail anthias
1 coral beauty
1 flame angel
3-4 fairy wrasses
pair gold-stripe maroon clownfish
1 powder blue tang
1 mandarin

Is this a compatible list with a conservative stock level?
Any thoughts? or suggestions?

Any recommendations on the order of adding these?

Thanks!

Let is if @eatbreakfast or maybe @3FordFamily can give you some help with these choices.

Get a yellow tang. They are awesome! Don't for get the blue chromis.

That list should be fine.

Bear in mind maroon clowns can get big and aggressive, but if added at the end of stocking you should be ok.

The tang should also be towards the end. The angels should be added simultaneously.

Mandarins need well established tanks so wait at least 6months.

Other than that the order doesn't really matter as most of your fish occupy different niches.

Thanks sir!

Yeah I concur with eatbreakfast here. Should work fine. Powder blues are very nasty and extremely susceptible to parasites. I would not avoid them necessarily but just something to think about.

You may have better luck with another centropyge Angel added, although I've kept the two together just fine in the past. Spreading the aggression may help!
