Combining fish

[Fishfreak2009]

Looking at combining some of the fish out of my reef setup into my 240 gallon while I have them in a holding tank as I upgrade my 75 gallon to a 180 gallon.

The fish in the tank currently include:
1 Maculosus Angelfish (Pomacanthus maculosus)
1 Cream Angel (Apolemichthys xanthurus)
1 Jewel Damsel (Microspathodon chrysurus)
2 Orange Line Chromis (Acanthochromis polyacanthus)
2 Clark's Clownfish (Amphiprion clarkii)
1 Neon Dottyback (Pseudochromis aldabraensis)
1 Harlequin Basslet (Serranus tigrinus)
1 Broomtail Wrasse (Cheilinus lunulatus)
1 Slippery Wrasse (Halichoeres bivittatus)
1 Hardwick's Wrasse (Thalassoma hardwicke)
1 Picasso Triggerfish (Rhinecanthus aculeatus)
1 Niger Triggerfish (Odonus niger)
1 Aiptasia Filefish (Acreichthys tomentosus)
1 Vlamingii Tang (Naso vlamingii)
1 Chocolate Tang (Acanthurus pyroferus)
1 Sohal Tang (Acanthurus sohal)
1 Yellow Belly Hippo Tang (Paracanthus hepatus)
1 Zebra Moray Eel (Gymnomuraena zebra)

These are the fish I'm going to move over:
1 Yellow Belly Dogface Puffer (Arothron nigropunctatus)
1 Falco Hawkfish (Cirrhitichthys falco)
1 Secretive Wrasse (Pseudocheilinus evanidus)
2 Green Spot Damsel (Neopomacentrus azysron)
3 Lyretail Damsel (Neopomacentrus cyanomos)
3 Green Chromis (Chromis viridis)
2 Blue Devil Damsel (Chrysiptera cyanea)
1 Pink Damsel (Pomacentrus smithi)
1 Black Tail Sergeant Major Damsel (Abudefduf sexfasciatus)

Any thoughts on how this'll go? Not to worried about most of them, really just the Hardwick's wrasse and the picasso trigger as far as aggression towards the newbies. I figured if I feed the tank very well before moving them, and move them after dark, it should really cut back on any major aggression towards the new guys.

Thats a lot of fish for that size of tank. Some of those get very big. I wouldn't recommend adding any fish to that system it's already full.

That I am very aware of. Most of these were taken in from people who could not house them anymore (like the 11" vlamingii who spent his last 3 years in a 60 gallon tank). The vast majority of the rest of the fish listed are also on the small side (damsels) and won't be big like the tangs or other big fish in here (i.e. 31" zebra moray).

I also tend to stock heavier than most, overfilter (75 gallon refugium/sump) and a hydor performer 2005 skimmer rated up to 800 gallons, plus weekly 25% water changes.

I've found that I have less aggression by stocking and feeding heavily.

Here's a few pics from the tank currently (maroon clown in the 1 pic has since been removed since I'm trying to pair her to breed in a different setup).

Is that vlamingii a male?

Pretty sure, it's starting to get streamers already.

Moved everyone over tonight. A little chasing by the neon dottyback (chasing the secretive wrasse, falco hawkfish, and all the new damsels), the orange line chromis (chasing the lyretail damsels), and the Hardwick's wrasse (the falco hawkfish), but nothing crazy and should subside pretty soon.
