Cyclint my first tank now. Ive got a 75g and I think I've got the fish I want in mind, just not sure what to start with.

Banggai Cardinal
Oscellaris Clowns
Flame Angel
Coral Beauty
Diamond Goby
Scooter Blenny
Tomini Tang

Also any suggestions for a good CUC would be appreciated.

Add the Cardinal and Clowns first, then go for the two angels at the same time.
Then leave it a year and go for the Diamond Goby or Scooter ‘Blenny’, however you’ll only be able to have one as the other will likely starve (More likely to end up with the ‘Watchman’ starving the ‘Blenny’). Then add the Tang.

Also, why haven’t you got a wrasse gang? Everyone needs one of those ;)
Just look at this display!

I was looking at getting a leopard wrasse, maybe after the angels?

If you went for wrasses I’d add them before the angels, angels can become rather territorial.
Personally I’d do Atleast 5 wrasses of different species. In a 75G tank I believe you have a 48”x24”x16” tank right? You could definitely get Atleast 3-4 wrasses in there :)

Ill definetly find some more then. Also, would 3 Banggai be good for starting out? From what I've seen it sounds like they group up.

They only group up as juveniles. Kind of like ‘Safety in numbers’ but as they age, they all pair off and find their own long spine urchins to hang out in. Groups don’t really work in captivity and it’s because of this reason of them only grouping as juveniles.

The wife wants some firefish. Would they be better to add early or more in the middle?
