An nps only tank. The tank itself is 6'x14"x18"

midas blenny or blue assesor
bannerfish trio
regal angelfish
lined bristletooth tang
scopas tang and pbt (same time)
Yellow tail tamarin and china wrasse (same time if i can)
macropharyngodon meleagris duo
harlequin tuskfish

No coral light
200gallon skimmer.
DIY aio.
Maybe a uv sterilzer
Decent flow.

Stocking
lotsof gorgonians
sun coral
dendronephtia
tube anemone
chili coral
spider sponge
lots of misc sponges

Feeding
reef roids, coral frenzy, reef pearls, etc., also liquid like oyster feast,
roti feast, phyto feast two to three times a day. Also some mysis and some smashed krill

Any good recommendations for nps coral?
 
decided to add a couple spongesto the list, not only for show but also something for my regal angelfish to graze on. Includes
pink strawberry sponge
smooth yellow encrusting spongey
red branching tree sponge
6-7 yellow ball sponges
bright red encrusting sponge
beesponge

as well as adding a couple sun corals and a TON of gorgonians

Would releasing A LOT of small crabs, shrimp, ;similar inverts help the harlequin tuskfish have some natural prey to hunt for? Im probably gonna get those that breed in captivity to keep th epopulation going. (thanks @marcinpolak !!)
 
Actually considering a macroalgae with sponges tank, with lots of gor gorgonians, will the tangs eat all the algae or no??? If not, i will be keeping primarily sponges and gorgonians
