so I am in the process of cycling my new tank and I have got a list of fish I would like some background on my tank is its a red sea reefer 170 tank is 34 gallons and 9 gallon sump I'm running a reef octopus protein skimmer with 26 pounds of live rock and live sand the list consists of a pair of clowns,2 fire fish,2 cardinals,pinkbar goby,coralreef angel I would appreciate opinion if you think they would mesh well and if my size tank can handle the waste load thank-you
 
A coral beauty angel is a bit large for that tank, perhaps a Pygmy angel or flameback?
 
I just looked up the flameback I really liked it cool looking angel would it be ok with coral tho it said with caution?
It's no more or less safe than a coral beauty, if anything I would say the flameback is slightly safer although no dwarf or Pygmy angel is truly safe
 
^No dwarf angel is truly reef safe.

Unless they are a bonded pr, skip getting 2 firefish. If they aren't a pr one will kill the other. They are also prolific jumpers, so an open top may not be best for them.

Keeping multiple gobies shouldn't present any problems.
 
so I updated and change fish list I have 2 clowns, 1 purple fire fish, 1 lawnmower blenny and was thinking of ending it off with a couple of flasher wrasse would the wrasse be compatible?

Completely compatible.
