Hi all, im shutting down one of my two tanks and combining certain fish into the one established tank. The two centre peice fishes are my cowfish and box fish who currently live with 2 clowns and 2 damsels. Do you think adding a regal tang, naoko wrasse is too risky? Theyre all very chilled out but dont want to upset the balance. Thanks!
 
Hey there!
Looks like this is your first post, welcome to the reef!
Can you provide us a bit more information on your tanks? Sizes and how long they've been running, full list of tankmates, some images of the rockwork etc. That will help!

Hey Jtp! Thanks! I've got no pictures to hand post move as its just gone to the new house.
Current stocking is a cow fish, box fish, 2 green chromis and 2 clowns which has been running for just over a year. I'd like to move if possible the regal tang, naoko wrasse and multi colour wrasse from a 5 year old tank (red sea reefer hence why thats the one closing lol). Theres a fair ammount of rock work with hiding places as the tank was originally designed for a dwarf lionfish. Its a 290l display tank with 60l sump.

Thanks!
