Hey guys couple of questions on live stock that I like. I'm curious of the order I should introduce them to the tank and they're compatibility. I have a 112g acrylic that is 5'Lx18"Wx24"H. I plan on keeping mostly LPS, softies, zoos and a little bit of everything untill I find what I really like.
Fish:
Longnosed butterfly fish
Yellow Tang
Hippo Tang
Lion/Dwarf lion
Goby
Clowns (2) (with an anemone would be nice...)
Chromis
These are all fish that I like and know that it isnt realistic to have them all. I am curious what a good combination of these fish would be suggested. I know Tangs tend to not get along, but I have seen a lot of multiple tangs in a tank. Would a butterfly and a tang be a better option? I know lion fish will eat anything they can fit in their mouths so would a dwarf lion be okay with clowns? Would a large lion fish fit comfortably in a 120? I know clowns can be aggressive so I figured I would add them last. I would also like to have a host anemone for them, but am not sure if it is really worth it to have them running over my other corals and such. Chromis are very pretty, but I like fish that have "jobs" or do interesting things, but these guys might get a little boring after awhile.
Just curious on how you would organize these fish. Which ones would you have and what order would you introduce them. Once again the tank is 112g 5'Lx18"Wx24"H, shallow sand bed (medium crushed coral), refugium, large skimmer, AI Sol blue led lights.
