Hey, brand new to Reef2reef. I have a fluval osaka 260l. I have 70 lbs of live rock with a 3" live sand bed. Need some stocking ideas I am new to saltwater. I plan on doing a reef tank, but my light needs to be upgraded.

I currently have:
2 True Perculas
4 Turbo Snails
4 Cerith Snails
10 Assorted Hermit Crabs

Wanting:
1 Kole Yellow Eye Tang
1 Shrimp/Prawn Goby
1 Lawnmower Blenny
1 Royal Gramma

Would this be fine? Would I be able to put anything else in? If so, what else would be good? What order should I get them in? I have been told that I should put most aggressive last.

Help would be greatly appreciated.
 
Tank might be a bit small for the kole tang. But other than that it looks great! IMO you could sneak in a few other fish as well. There are some nice anthias that would look great in there.
 
I thought Anthias need bigger tanks? What about wrasses? What shrimp/prawn goby would you recommend I was also looking at having that could be paired with a pistol shrimp. I herd they become aggressive if they are paired.
