Hi all. I have a 165g Red Sea Reefer 625XXL system that has been up for about 8 months. I am hoping to add a few more fish to complete the tank. Below is a list of what fish I currently have, and also some of the fish I was thinking about adding (but I'm open to any other ideas people have!). Note that his will ultimately be an SPS dominated tank. Any thoughts welcomed. Thanks!

Fish I'm thinking about adding:
-Tang of some sort (yellow, purple... a Gem Tang would be my dream tang)
- 3-5 Schooling fish (maybe anthias or something of the sort? not sure they will work)
- More wrasse's (not sure if that will work with the one I have now?)

What I have:
1x Picasso Clownfish
1x Blue Spotted Jawfish
1x Flame Wrasse
1x Helfrichi Firefish
2x Banggai Cardinalfish (pair)
1x Yasha Gobie (with symbiotic shrimp)
2x Flame Hawkfish (pair)

Right now everybody gets along pretty well... The Flame Wrasse gets a little aggressive sometimes during feeding but overall everyone seems happy.

Thanks for the input!
 
Melanarus wrasse
potters angel
leopard wrasse
potters wrasse
purple tang
imo these are what i would add
 
I just ordered a yellow watchman, candy cane pistol shrimp pair for my tank. I think creatures that have a relationship with each other are very fun to watch
 
I’d go for whatever type of leopard wrasse you like, a couple starcki damsels, and a gem if that’s your favorite tang. Make sure to look around for the gem. They can be found at pretty good prices now.
