I'm thinking about starting a new 180 gallon reef tank and I am just trying to get advice on what order to put the fish I want to get in first and how long to wait before putting the next ones in. Also how compatible are these fish together?

Tank Dimensions:
96 inches x 18 inches x 25 inches
(length x width x height)

1st round:
1 Tiger Watchman Goby
4 Scissortail Gudgeons
2 Firefish Gobies
4 Harptail Blennies

2nd round:
2 Longfin Phantom Clowns
1 Longnose Hawkfish
1 Flame Angel
1 Copperband Butterflyfish

3rd round:
1 Male Naoko Fairy Wrasse
1 Redtail Tamarin Wrasse

4th round:
1 Achilles Tang
1 Purple Tang

Final Round:
1 Porcupine Puffer

Also when should I put in the 1 Beaded Aurora Sand Anemone

Porcupine Puffers are big aggressive fish that eat inverts. 1. It's not reef safe. It will eat your clean up crew and nip your corals. 2. They are notorious for being aggressive to other smaller tank mates. 3. It will outgrow the 180 gallon. They get big, really big.
