Just ordered a new waterbox infinia reef 230 72x24x24 looking for suggestions on what fish to put in. I currently have a 75 gallon 48x18x21 that I will be transferring everything rock, sand, coral and fish to new tank.

Current fish stock
1 x benghai cardinal
1x mystery wrasse
1x coral beauty angel
1x purple tang
1x scopas tang
1x 1 spot foxface
1x damsel
2x clownfish
1x firefish
1x cleaner shrimp
2x peppermint shrimp
Various snails and blue leg hermits

The new fish i am planning on getting are
1x yellow tang
1x copperband butterfly
2 to 3 x benghai cardinal
At least 1 more wrasse maybe 2 Blue streak cleaner wrasse Orange back wrasse and maybe something else open to suggestions
Maybe some anthias

I would like to have a big fish naso tang, or hippo tang or something else just want reef safe and would not have to worry about ich like powder blue.

Let me know any ideas or suggestions too many fish or not enough, different types whatever

Thanks
 
blonde naso would be awesome. maybe chocolate tang? also naoko wrasse add a lot of life. awesome group of fish already.
 
Thanks I like the naoko wrasse hadnt seen those before I will do some more research on them. Yeah I'm the blonde naso and also Achilles tang also except for the price
 
Achilles are more prone to itch/etc than powders. So if you are worried about a powder, Achilles should stay off the list.
 
Didn't know that i havnt done any research on them yet. I guess with that and the price those are off the list right now. Do all the naso, chocolate , hippo or other big tangs get sick easily i thought it was more just the powder blue?

And thanks again this is why I ask on here I didn't immediately see that info when I first look into th fish
 
All tangs are more prone than a lot of other fish due to a weaker slime coat, but the powders and Achilles are the most sensitive by a large margin.
