I'll keep this short guys. I am aware of the aggression so I would like to add the fish all at the same time, please advise if there is any other way that could make this right or a smooth as possible. Need your expertise and experience. I will use mirror technique, dark mode for a few dayz, and will feed them 4-5x a day.

Currently in DT:
  • Hippo- L (5-6")
  • Sailfin- ML(4-5")
  • Yellow- M (3"), shy and gets bullied by Hippo and Sailfin
  • 3 small damsels
  • Coral beauty- S (2")

Holding Tank - Sump (4 stages)
1st stage: no fish
2nd stage:
Desjardini- L(5")
Emperor Angel- L(5")
Powder Blue- M(4")
Yellow- M(4")

3rd stage:
  • Yellow Eye Kole M(4")
  • Powder Brown- M (3")
  • Juvenile Koran Angel- S(2-3")
  • Niger Trigger- S (1- 1.5")
  • Percula Clown- S (2")

4th stage:
  • Orange Shoulder juve- M (3")
  • Pair of Clarkii town (2" and 3")

Quarantine Tank:
  • Gem Tang- L (4"-5")
  • Sohal-L (5")
  • Achilles juvenile -(3")--mean little guy, no fear with Sohal
  • Purple Tang juvenile (2")--mean little guy, no fear with Sohal

10gal sump:
  • 4 babies percula clown (1.5")

20gal QT:
  • Blonde- M (4-5")
  • Clown M (4-5")

Strategy: Capture the tangs from DT then place them in the sump. Once all settled, I will add all the fish in the DT at the same time.

Mixed thoughts here, should I add the small tangs like the Juve Purple tang and Achilles first?

Another reefer is also selling me his 4" Purple tang so I am still on the fence if I should buy it. I believe spreading the aggression would be a key to success, seeing multiple same shape tangs will divert aggression? I could be wrong......?

Per attached video, it's not mission impossible
