I'm planning my first tank and I'm working on the stocking list. I'm aiming for a larger tank (between 165g and 180g). I'm aware its an ambitious size for a first tank but I don't want to have to worry about upgrading a few years down the road and I plan on taking things really slowly.
Currently I'm leaning towards a DSB with a mix of LPS and SPS coral. Probably a brittle star and some crabs as part of the CUC.
I know I want a yellow tang, one or more gobies, and one day, many years from now, a mandarin. I'm considering a clown with an anemone, some wrasses, and maybe some blennies. I'm aiming for mostly peaceful tank mates though I know the tang doesn't fit with that.
I'vee been having trouble navigating compatibility charts and finding any suggestions how to approach this. Any help or suggestions would be welcome.
