Red Sea 3xl 900
240 79" long
4x tangs
Blonde naso
Chevron or Achilles
Hippo
....sohal

Firefish
Black cap basslet
Lawnmower
Couple ocellaris
Some type of schooling fish...undecided
Foxface

And I'm probably going to roll the dice on a emporer

Adding the tangs last. Good plan or trainwreck?

I wouldn't do the Naso, for size reasons. I wouldn't do the Sohal for aggression reasons, and it will be a tough mix with the Achilles. So for tangs, I would do Chevron, Hippo, Achilles, and maybe purple/yellow/scopas for a fourth. And if I'm being completely honest, I would get a powder brown instead of the Achilles, since they are much easier.

all's good but the firefish will probably get bullied by the tangs
Had no idea those little guys were disliked by tangs...interesting

Yes, you need the Emperor (lol!), even if you have to replace the Hippo to make room ;)

Yessir!!! Hippo stays though Mrs gotta have a Dory

Chevron only look nice as juveniles...

I had an emperor in a 72” reef with yellow tang, regal tang and clown tang...also blue line angel and regal Angel..

Add tangs last and sohal dead last for sure..
Yeah planned on adding last but all simultaneously, may revisit it. The Chevron does look a little like a budget gem tang lol

Naso can be rehomed down the line or upgrade, sohal is a dream fish of mine so...gonna give it a whirl
