I recently got a 110 gallon tall tank. I'm trying to plan out my live stock. I've looked at the 1 inch per gallon rule but I know it's not concrete and varies with species. My plan for fish is

1 sailfin blenny
2 ocellaris clownfish
4 blue/green chromis, firefish or banggai cardinal
1 yellow tang
1 one spot foxface
1 Ruby longfin fairy wrasse
1 bluehead fairy wrasse
1 Ruby head fairy wrasse

If this doesn't sound like it will work please give me some input as to why and what you would recommend instead. Also when should I introduce certain species. Thank you

I will also be using a small CUC

hermit crabs, pair of coral band shrimp, peppermint shrimp, emeralds, mixed snails and a star.
 
I believe that tank does not offer the swimming room required for the tang as it matures

Alright I see what you mean, could I get away with a yellow eye tang? Or just avoid all together?
 
The tank is a 4' tank. The yellow tang should be fine. The fish are all compatible.
X2 you'll be fine with a smaller zebrasoma tang like a yellow in a 110, even long-term.

I might suggest you introduce some different color since you already have a yellow foxface on the list and opt for a purple tang instead but of a yellow or a magnificent foxface rather than a one spot if you can swing the money.

@NYAquatic has the best deal on purple tangs, and has other great fish options.
 
Thanks for all the info seems like I've got some more thinking to do lol
 
Nice list, but imo, the yellow tang should be put in last....or any tang for that matter, and firefish among the first
Depending on individual, some tangs like to harass blennies, and also depending on individual, some blennies can hold their own...
 
Thanks for the info blue, I was doing some additional reading and it did recommend putting the smaller more timid species in first to claim their territory which makes sense
