Hi everyone, I just recently finished plumbing my tank and am ready to scape and set it up soon. I've put lots of thought into how I want to stock it. I plan on keeping it an sps dominant mixed reef. So far here's the stock list I've come up with.

- Pair of clowns
- Yellow Tang
- Powder Blue Tang
- Bristle tooth Tomini Tang
- 1-2 Diamond Gobies
- Foxface Rabbitfish

Also, I would possibly add some sort of reef safe angel. I really don't want to overstock the tank. At first I was thinking of getting an Achilles until I realized that it's not worth it. Any suggestions or corrections are welcome, I'll take all the advice I can get. Thanks!
 
What are the dimensions of the tank? Generally, dimensions matter way more than the amount of gallons your tank has. Everything looks good so far, except maybe the powder blue which would be decided on how long the tank is. I'd also stick to 1 sand sifting diamond goby.

A 100% reef angel would be any Geniacanthus angelfish.

6'x2'x2' so I figured a powder blue would be fine
 
Also, any other suggestions of fish I could add?
In a 6ft tank you probably could keep a PBT. Just be prepared, they are ich magnets so you probably will want to do a strict quarantine process of all fish, maybe even inverts/coral too. Also, expect aggression. It should be the very last fish into your tank.

I agree, there are some really beautiful wrasses and anthias.
 
Ok, yeah I've heard they are a little bit finicky. Yeah some Anthias and wrasse would be nice
