Hi there everyone! So I finished up stocking my 55 (skipped the chromis and got a reef safe wrasse thanks to advice on here) and my go to fish hobby shop is moving, so I got a 100 gallon 72x18x18 tank from them for $79. Yippie! Mind you, it won't be ready for fish for a few months or so (have to build the stand, add a sump etc) but we're so excited about being able to add fish with a little bit of size, I thought I'd come in here and ask some suggestions since it was so helpful before.
There are really only 2 fish that I really have my heart set on:
Yellow Tang
One Spot Foxface
Just wanted to know the order to add them, and people's experience with these species. Also, feel free to throw ideas out there that you would want in a tank this size!
Thanks!
 
Both of those will work. Add the foxface first, they are not aggressive at all.

Other options for fish are more wrasses and some anthias.
 
Thanks much for the suggestions. I do love wrasses and anthias. Do you have ideas about what types of wrasses/anthias to mix? Also, I've read anthias require several small feedings a day to thrive. I was considering an automatic feeder for them if I actually purchase them. Any models to avoid/consider? Thanks in advance!
