Advice on order of fish into tank.

[MummysReefTank]

Hi All!

This is my first post; I’ve got the tank up and running and it has been cycling for the past 2 weeks, its only resident a now delightfully bloated (dead) prawn.... and some Dr Tim’s.
The tank size is 450l and I'd like people’s recommendations on what order to add the below fish in. They are currently in the order I think would be appropriate from what I've researched so far.

2 x Banggai Cardinalfish
2 x Ocellaris Clownfish
2 x Neon Gobie
6 x Blue Green Chromis
1-2 x Foxface Rabbitfish
1 x YellowEye Tang
1 x Yellow Tang
1 x Coral Beauty Angelfish
1 x Long Fin Fairy Wrasse
1 x Orchid Dottyback
1 x Flame Angelfish
1 x Lyretail Anthias
1 x Four Line Wrasse

I know the Tangs should go in together.
The plan is to add sand sifting Gobies at a later date when the tank can sustain them.

Thanks in advance.

I would either chose one or another of the angels. They are extremely hard to keep together even in bigger tanks. For the tangs I would add yellow eye first imo. I have had bad luck with yellow range being hyper aggressive. besides that I would say go in this order.
Longfin fairy wrasse
Neon gobies
Fox face I would only do one
Cardinal fish
Blue green chromis
Yellow eye tang
Clownfish
Yellow tang
One of the angels
Orchid dottyback
Four line wrasse
This is a pretty heavy bio load. So make sure to keep water changes pretty frequent

this is my 450L that I’ve had for about a year now. Once you get a tank this size it opens up so many possibilities!
