wow sounds like and awesome fish tank!

 

have you done the fish calculator? I'd calculate the size of them full grown. That may be too much fish for a 100 gallon. If there is one thing you do do.. get a really good skimmer! With that many/size fish, you're going to need one.(bigger fish tend to poop bigger)

 

+1. WAY too much fish with a 100 gallon. You could pull the clowns, the flame, than maybe 2 fish from all of the others on the list.
That original list right there would probably easily overload my 200.

 

What about taking the possibility of powder brown tang off, the niger triggerfish,and the clowns?

 

I would take off the Trigger and the Butterflys, and either get the power brown or the convict, not both. I'm thinking the size they will get to and how much they will poo. Serious.
The clowns aren't that messy.
The foxface is a pig and poop big, so there one biggie, max size 9" http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=15 1926 687&pcatid=687
Flame Angel- not bad 4" http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=15 1926 687&pcatid=687
Heniochus Black & White Butterfly Fish (Pair) no way, they get really big max size is 10" which means BIG poo http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=15 25 242&pcatid=242
Convict Tang poops like a foxface and gets big max size 8" http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=15 43 737&pcatid=737
Niger Triggerfish same as above except max size 1 foot! you know what that means
Black & White Ocellaris Clownfish (pair) good choice max size each 3" so 3+3= 6 inches of fish just with these two. http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=15 1500 1114&pcatid=1114
Flame Hawkfish good choice 4" very cool fish, good personalities http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=15 1500 1114&pcatid=1114
Powder Brown Tang see convict above
Hope this helps and really...do the fish calculator over there

aw the butterflys are the main reason im doing it hahah. Moorish idol is my favorite but if i can't do that the butterflys are my next best bet. haha this is frustrating in a good way lol

 

The butterfly's would be about it. In a 100 you have room for 2, maybe three bigger fish. The clowns would make little to no difference, they are very easy on the load.
You could do the henio's, then like the flame, clowns, and some other assorted smaller fish.
Or, if your willing, get the fish small, and trade them in when they get bigger. Only keep them as smaller, younger fish. Then you could keep more of those on your wishlist. But a lot of people get very attached, so that can be tough.

 

yah thats kinda what i was planning on doing. I don't mind trading up. its just wierd i get such mixed responses. for instance i was reading this really interesting thread on a guys 125 gallon tank and he was throwing in 3 yellow tangs, blue tang, clowns, a sweetlips that grows to like 1'3" (liveaquaria) and all this other stuff and not once did i see any comments like: "Too many fish" or "adding them too early". Cuz he added them like a week after the tank was running. Then I hear stuff like if the compatibility is good you need to give 1 gallon of water per inch of fish for success. Which in that case i would be wel in the parameters so to speak. BUt either way i made the list with the flexibility of picking a choosing. i just put down the main ones i was interested in. If you guys dont mind checking my 80 gal reef thread in the same section for input. I haven't really gotten any hits it would be nice to know opinions on that setup too.

Thanks

It's one gallon per inch of fish but its per square inch of fish not length. So if you have a 10" foxface. It would be something like. 10"length x 4" height x 3/4" width 10"x4"x.75"=
