Hi, we're new to the hobby and wanting to check a couple of things - does this order of adding to our new aquarium (Red Sea Reefer XL 300) sound OK, and do you think there is anything wrong with the stock list?

1. Some CUC (Trochus Snails, Emerald Crabs and Red Leg Hermit Crabs)
2. First fish batch (2x Common Clownfish)
3. Start adding some soft corals
4. Second fish batch (Mimic Tang)
5. Third fish batch (Naoko Fairy Wrasse, Sand-sifting Goby and Scooter Blenny)
6. Few more CUC (Cleaner Shrimp and
Peppermint Shrimp)
7. Fourth fish batch (Royal Gramma, 2x Banggai Cardinal)
8. Maybe start adding LPS corals
9. Fifth fish batch (Foxface Rabbitfish and Longnose Hawkfish) - still unsure on these fish
10. Future maybe add Feather Duster Worm, Tuxedo Urchin and SPS corals

Looks good, when adding though make after adding each group of fish/inverts leave 2 weeks before the next.
