Fish Stocking for Waterbox lx 330.7

[N11morales]

Here is a current fish list that I was thinking for this system?
Open to suggestion different fish especially on tangs. Not all fish need to go in this system. I'm just trying to get some ideas.
Tank is 84.1"x29.5"x25.6"

White Tail Bristletooth
Purple Tang
Desjardini Tang
Orange Shoulder Tang
Blue Hippo tang
Yellow tang

Melanurus wrasse
2x Yellow coris wrasse
Open to other wrasse suggestions

pair of clownfish
Longnose hawkfish
starry blenny
School of anthias (probably lyretails)
royal gramma
copperband
magnificent foxface
lemon damsel
springer damsel (heard these damsels search for pests on sps corals)

Even though it's a big tank, I think you might have issues with aggression having that many tangs. Everything else seems fine though. Just make sure the copper band is eating before you buy one

As for the damsels, they eat a type of flatworm or something, but I can't remember the exact details. To my knowledge, they only eat that one type of pest though.

Yeah tangs were my main question. I'm fine if i cant have all on the list. Just curious maybe which would be "kinder" to each other lol. Even thought about blonde naso, but not sure.

Also okay ty for that! I was told by a friend they eat flatworms, didnt know it was just one type. Good to know.

You know what, it will probably be fine to get all those tangs to be honest.

I actually agree with this. If added in groups in that big a tank I wouldn't expect issues outside if you end up with a particularly mean bad apple tang. That's a pretty huge tank

 

[N11morales]

Yall really think so? Would love to have all on the list. I plan to add them last like months later on. Let the tank mature a bit and add them small hopefully.

So that amount of fish is good? Could I possibly add anymore or probably plan for these and go from there based on nutrient levels?
