What I would recommend, since you've changed tank sizes 4 or 5 times between your original thread and this one.... settle on a tank size. Get it set up, get it cycling and then start thinking about fish.
What are the overall dimensions of the aquarium

OK i will, i just want a final stocking so that i can calculate how much i have to save up. I think ill do the 6ft as a diy aio with a skimmer down the line. the over all dimensions are 6ft x 14 inch x 18inch.

Remember when I said don't feel discouraged if people don't respond to your build thread? It happens! Nobody has responded to mine in months! When you get the tank you are actually going to use, I would start a new build thread with all of the actual tank progress. It sounds like the tank you have is about 80 gallons. Do what you will with that information. Either way, just save up you don't have to put in all the fish you want at once. Start with a few, save some more, then add some more.

opinions on harlequin tuskfish? And what about a trio of sunset anthias?
theyr'e just expensive. I've never owned any of these fish so I can't really say. Do some more reading about these fish on the forums and you should be fine to draw your own conclusion.
For this tank, I would go with the bellus or swallowtail over the regal angel personally. But there's a thread here where you can post your tank dimensions and your fish wish list and you can get better advice than I can give.
