Stock list for a 150...

[TommyDelaney]

I recently setup my new 150g and am planning to have a mixed reef w mostly lps and softies. I wanted to post my stock list that I have planned to get any comments or concerns y’all have and any recommendations to improve it.
this is the list not in any specific order

-Blonde Naso Tang
-one spot foxface
-zebra eel
-pair of ocellaris clownfish
-blue star leopard wrasse
-harlequin tusk
-tiger watchman goby
-copperband butterflyfish
-pair of wantanaei angelfish

Most of it looks good to me.

I'm not sure about mixing the tusk with the leopards. Someone else will have to chime in there.

The blonde Naso tangs get so darn big. I would pick a different tang. Lots to choose from for a 6' (I assume) 150 gallon.

Edit: grammer

do you think that a powder blue or regal blue tang would go better? I would preferably like to house the fish for life and not have to rehome them when they grow. Would those two be able to live in a 150 for life?

Those would be better, for sure. Tomini will be fine. Powder blue is fine too, as long as it's a 6' tank and not one of those 4' long 30" tall 150s.

Thank you for the help!! I believe the tank is 5 x 2 x 2. Do you think that will be able to work still? Or should I look into a differnet fish? I have read that males stay smaller than the females so if I was to get a male would taht work?
