I have a 200 gallon, 7’ by 26” by 26”, heavily filtered. I already have

Hi fin snapper 8”
Naso tang Female 9”
Magnificent foxface 7”
Emperor angel 6”
Polleni grouper 5”
Blue throat trigger 5”
Purple tang 4”
Bi color angel 3
Powder blue tang 3”

Want to add
Achilles tang
Male blonde naso tang
Harlequin tusk
Coral cat shark OR epaulette shark
Sapo puffer
Multiple blue reef chromis
Multiple lyretail anthias
Zebra eel OR banana eel
California ray OR blue dot ray

My skimmer is for up to 800 gallons, and I have a large UV. Algae refugium, and planning on getting the reefmat 1200 instead of the 4 4” filter socks that I currently have. I have a crossflow jebao wave pump for flow. 300lbs of sand, I’d guess 200lbs of rock, I can take out rock if the sharks and rays need more swimming space tho. And I did the Red Sea mesh DIY lid. Probably an inch of space not covered at the back, but not enough space for a decent sized fish to jump from.

It’s worked for me in the past when I heavily stock tanks. That there’s so many fish that there’s no bullying.

Powder blue is still in QT

This is my 230 with a bunch of big fish. You don’t see a big Tessalata and golden moray that just chill in the middle of the rocks. Its different once they actually start getting big. I’ve considered getting rid of a few that I’ve had for a while.

The golden puff is 10” solid. They are all between 6 inches (emp snap) 8 inches (clown trig) and sohal maybe a foot with streamers.

It’s fine when they are small but when they get big you might wanna recalibrate.
