Hello @TARHEEL78 !

Thanks for tagging me!

I think you’re stock list will work well and provide a lot of activity ! Great list!

I would recommend the following from personal experience:

Get the foxface in early, and well ahead of the tangs.

Add the dotybacks last.

Flame Angel next to last.

Add the tangs together, before the flame angel.

Can’t wait to see it!
 
Ok, final order I think...

Looks good. Stock your tank with pods before you get the wrasses so they have lots of pods to graze on too :) I added a pintail fairy wrasse as my first fish in my 90 and he didn’t make it, withered away even with good mysis feeding. I believe due to lack of a mature tank & pods.

Thanks for the heads up.
