Dream 450g stock list?

[Kavo11]

I'm currently in process of a substantial tank size upgrade. My first and only tank so far has been a 54g RedSea Reefer250. I just purchased a 450g GlassCages tank which is 96"x36"x30".

I'm hoping a post like this is allowed in which the collective mind helps me design an amazing stock list for this new tank. I have so much to learn regarding stocking a tank of this size. For example, I'm sure there's rules where if I'd like to add multiple tangs and/or angels, maybe they need to be introduced at the same time? With my current tank, I've been used to the adage of only adding a single fish at a time to not cause bio-overload. I also have no idea how many fish I'll ultimately be able to keep. I bought a huge skimmer for the system, so I should be able to have a larger bioload.

Anyways, if you were in my shoes, what would your dream stock list be? Hoping this thread can be a good mixture of fun and educational!

I'll get the ball rolling: A Blueface Angel, and a Lunare Wrasse (which will grow to a nice 7-9" and be non-stop action!)

I dont recommend large angels who can and may become dominant/territorial. I had for a long time a 660g and currently a 400g (560g total volume) and you want to decide if you want a tang dominant, wrasse dominant, butterfly dominant tank as an example. I currently have a tang dominant tank with 27 tangs and 41 fish total with a copperband butterfly, harlequin tusk, several clowns, firefish, gramma, neon goby and a few more.
In my sum which is large, I have an algae scrubber, skimmer, UV sterilizer and chiller within unit and incorporate socks as well as live rock in sump. Lighting will be a bid consideration as I use Orphek exclusively but there are options.

Thanks for kicking it off! I’m definitely a fan of the blue face angel.

Do the large angels bully and kill most other species even in large tanks like ours? If so, that’s a shame as I really love the way they look

They are capable not to say they will

Gorgeous setup! And understood. I may have to take the risk with at least one or two and pray the fish gods are on my side…

I’m a vette guy too, along with my whole family in fact. It’s funny how many of us share common interests. I wouldn’t be shocked if you told me you have German shepherd’s as well haha
