I have an SCA 90 and this is how I'd like to stock it. I have read and watched a million videos and still can't figure out the best order for stocking the fish. I know it should be the most aggressive fish last but can't get a consensus on which fish that is. If anyone with some experience could order these in a reasonable order, I'd appreciate it. I'm new to the salt side of the hobby and it's way more confusing than freshwater fish keeping. Any thoughts would be welcome.

I'd go in this order but there may be another way too: clowns, coral beauty, mandarin, hawkfish, and tang. Inverts wherever and whenever they have food.

Depending on how fast you want to add the fish the mandarin can go last as you want the tank to establish quite a bit. Personally, beefs in my tank are between my hand and the clowns, orchid dottyback and most that get too close to his home, the hawkfish and inverts. Everything ignores the dragonet except when the hawk palys with him.
